Great experiment - and pretty amazing result. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Liked video! Try your way. 2 changes 1- put a saucer down first. A bigger terra cotta watering bottom would work. 2 - set the pot upside down with wafers inside on the bottom watering saucer. The hole would be the only way in and out. No fish getting a free meal.

Thanks for the tips!

I watched your video before buying the JBL snail trap and was dubious however I am so impressed and happy with this product. I have so many unwanted pest snails and this was my first attempt at using it and I can’t believe the results. Consequently I have ordered a 2nd one for my other aquarium. I feel that I can see a way forward with a situation that was beating me. Thank you for your comparisons. This really works

Omg that JBL trap! Haha its too full 😂 ok im gettin one! Thank you

Great video as I have a snail issue in my tank after buying some new plants about 3 months ago will get that JBL trap now

Can’t argue with those results! I’ll be honest just looking at them I assumed the bottle was going to win it but I was proved wrong. That’s why these tests are great. Unless JBL have paid you off! And you spent all night forcing snails into that trap 🤣🤣

I used the plastic bottle method it caught plenty of snails but also my fish made there way in there and couldn't get out!! I've recently but a cheap one from ebay but it hasn't been very successful. I'll go for the one now which you used, the green one that caught loads of 🐌 🐌 🐌. Enjoyed watching your experiment thanks very much.I hate snails they make me cringe .

How do you get the snails out of the JBL trap? Or are you just supposed to throw the whole thing away?

Also, you can just use jars of any size, no lid...glass jars stay down well...and as a bonus, if you need to transfer fish, use jars...put a frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp or wafer in...while they're busy eating, put your fingers over the opening and pick the jar up. Happy fish keeping!

Just ordered one. $35 in USA ! Hope it works.

Enjoyed this one. Great little snail catcher........shame I can't get one though as don't have any snails at all. 😃

Great video. My snails are in my plecko and blue shrimp tank. I have 4 smallish pleckos, full grown yellow blue eyes and 3 red sovereign so I am worried they could be strong enough to enter the JBL unit. Do you think this is an unrealistic fear?

Put a pie tin under your traps, and you can carefully take them all out

Lol, the algae wafer technique is how I get out some of the bladder snails from my Walstad tank. I then donate the snails to my local pet store's aquatic plant tank (they give me permission to do this).

I have found that just dropping in algae wafer into the tank and waiting several hours till I get a mound of them then I swishing them into a net I get dozens this way.

Will the JBL trap work with River Neon Gobies in the tank? Or do you think they would get trapped too?

When I had a problem with Ramshorn snail I just turned the light out at night waited a few hours and when they were all over the glass I just scraped the net up the glass, got about 80-100 snails every couple of days till it got back to a reasonable number

Do you keep them in with your Discus?

Invest in a small tank with pea puffers in it, you're not killing them yourself and you're also giving your pea buddies a good feast its the second reason I wanted pea puffers next to loving the little dudes

No wonder my snail trap didn't work. I assumed they would all stay in the bottle eating all night long and I could just pull them all out. Apparently they eat a little bit and leave?

When you have so many snails, just suck them out with an air tube!!! You could have gotten all of those hundreds of snails out more easily in a couple of minutes... Though it might be messier if your top substrate is sand (mine is fine gravel)

are those assasin snails? wish you could give them to me lol

I do have some assassin snails, but these are Malaysian trumpet snails

I'm not sure this was a fair test. With all three in at once the snails are probably attracted to whichever one they can smell easiest. I.e. Your pot first then the jbl then your water bottle. No flow in the bottle so most probably didn't know it was there? Maybe a fairer test would be to do each one for 24 hours on its own? Just a thought. Nice video though and shows the job works.

I think 'which one attracts them better' is a core part of the test.

I give mine to the pet store

Question: How on earth do you grow one billion snails? I worked hard to establish a good (I believed) snail colony in my tank. I think I've got maybe a handful. I've never seen more than 3 or 4 at a time. Do you feed them special snail food extra from the lot you feed your fish?

If only I knew! I don't feed the snails specifically - but do feed the fish quite heavily.

Would the JBL work with mini ramshorn snails?

Get some Clown Loaches or Koi Carp. They love to eat these snails and you'll have none left in your fish tank or pond.

This looks great, but are afraid my tiny salt and pepper corydoras or the shrimps would risk getting caught in it 🤔 Are they safe for all fishes? Also been looking at assassin snails, but don't want them to kill my military helmet snails 🙈 Or risk my Betta take a chunk from their "snable" 😅

You can adjust the gates to keep smaller fish out - but there is a risk they could still get in. As long as you check fairly regularly it shouldn't be a problem though, you can just release the fish and remove the snails!

Of just give them to a pet store mystery snails are a lovely pet 😢

Hello to you, after much research on you tube i watched this great video on catching snails but my problem is more what to do with them for i truly cannot kill them. I bought to rams horn snails on the grounds that the seller told me they cannot accumulate unless they are in salt water yet i do not have a salt water tank and only a few fish, Tetra and guppies and after 2 months i must now have over a hundred of them Grr!.. my tank is small too so please can you tell me how i can get rid of them without killing them? Thank you so much :)
