    I already took it out lol. How long should I boil it for?
    It was already soaked, so...I know that makes a difference.

    Try either a clown loach or a yoyo loach.
    They got rid of my problems before in my old fw tank with snails. I just scooped out the fish after the snails were gone and gave them away.

    any kind of loach

    my cousin had about 1000 breeder snails in his fresh tank and he got a clown loach and when i came back next month the only ones left were the big ones (about the size of a nickel)
