If you do get Clown Loaches or similar to do their business on snails, cut down on their feeding in general until their work is done.

Hi All,
  I have a few tanks with those small bastard snails too.  I let them breed, then once a week scoop them up with the crushed marble, shake the net and they come to the top of the net.  Pick them out and put them into a microwave safe container.  Remember to add some water to it.  Pop them into the mocrowave for about 2 minutes and they all cook and pop out.

And there you have it, instant popped snails just perfect food for your bristlenoses or frys put some in each tank (cos you know they are dead now) and the smaller fish will love u.

They didn't cost u anything and are a healthy source of food for bns or snall fish.

I also have a few more receipes inccluding a garlic butter version (only kidding) but why waste great fish food.  

Raycam01_au, give that a try.  The shells will break down in about 3 weeks and are a great source of calcium carbonate ( buufer) for your water.

Cheers,
dan
