Should You Buy an Ista Snail Trap?

Find out what I think to the Ista Snail Trap - how does it compare to my DIY solution!?
I show you how the snail trap works, what is in the box, what the instructions tell you to do, and then leave the trap a week to see how well it works. There are loads of snails in this tank, watch to the end to see how many were caught!

    I find the best way to use this trap is to leave it over night when the lights are off and then remove in the morning before you turn the light off as the snails won't bother with it during the day

    Thanks for the review was thinking of buying this thing and thought the same thing it’s not a trap it’s a feeding platform

    Your tank is so clean that I honestly thought it was a terrarium until I saw the fish lol.

    Its amazing watching your videos. I have 3 aquariums and 2 of them have snails. I tried to remove them but after a couple of days they show up again. Please advise

    Wish I had seen this video before buying a snail trap! What a waste of money. I'll make one myself now, thanks 😊

    I am keeping Molly and Goldfish in the same tank. How can I save babies. Please suggest a permanent solution so I don't have to look all night when molly give birth.

    You failed to show any signs of snail infestation in your tank, I used it in my tank infested with tadpole snails and it worked like a charm.
