Snail problem

I hav a 3 tanks one is fresh and I have aquired snails that overrun my tank. I have bought and used a Boita which is supposed to eat snails and he did fine the first couple of weeks but when he bacame used to being fed with my other inmates he stopped eating the snails. Then I tried a product called snail gone and used it a couple times but they keep coming back. I don't want to keep adding chemicals in my tank but they are killing my plants and this is already pissing me off.
Please help anyone....

 

clown loach (community fish)
or green spotted puffers (they can be aggressive though)

 

If it is in the fresh, I second clown loach. They will annihilate snails, and can petty much live with absolutely anything.
The only problem I se with a GSP is as it ages, it needs to slowly be brought up to saltwater, so It may be a problem if planning to keep long term in fresh.

 

I back the clown loach, had one of them perform carnage on a huge snail population. This guy should be done for war crimes.

I mean, I even slept with 1 eye open after seeing the carnage he brought to such a peaceful environment.

A complete ethnic cleansing of snails took place!

You gettin the picture?

 

how about a dwarf puffer? sooooo cute I had a GSP in a planted tank of mine. Decimated the out of control snail population in about 2 hours! wasnt a small tank either. Snails are like crack to puffers. They go crazy for em! lol

 

I'm with the clown loach too they love snails

 

no no dont worry about a brown puffer. You need a terminator in there, a deranged shell crushing monster, and the clown loach is that guy.
Like the Predator massacres Aliens, your loach will destroy snails.

 

Like if you paint your hand like a snail, and put it in the tank? Your new nick name will be stumpy.
