Snail predators: clown loaches are great (also some small loaches are snail-eating species) and you have a large enough tank to support them

Baiting: put some food (lettuce leaf) in the tank and weight it - the snails will come onto it overnight to eat, just pull the leaf and snails out in the morning, repeat as necessary

Temperature: these don't reproduce well at temperatures below 74o (depending on if your fish will tolerate this temperature)

Starving: if there are that many, they must have quite a food source - be sure you aren't overfeeding and use a gravel vacuum when you do water changes to clean the substrate

So, meaning if all of us agree on your nonsense that makes us all a greater efficient person. Come on. i'm valuable from the place ever you got here from, you too do have this form of issues. No u . s . a . is suited. Many Malaysian docs prefer to artwork in different international places probable the wages are lots greater efficient than. and not many Malaysians are racially biased, yet i will see you're by potential of ways you place up your questions that's full of hatred. I do agree besides that the Reader 's Digest do no longer lie, yet as Superman mentioned , in case you do a ballot day after today you would be shocked.
