They came as eggs with plants I bought months ago. I honestly don’t have a problem with them but over the week their population EXPLODED. They are everywhere and covering almost the entire floor. I understand I may need to get rid of them but they are still are live beings and I dont want to be inhuman. How do I get rid of them?
Assassins are good but they leave empty shells everywhere and also breed.
They breed slowly and you pick up shells with the WC vac pretty easily. Not real downside. Could also add nerite snails, they do some fancy colours.
True the shells are easy to deal with but eventually there will be too many assassins with no predator.
Doubtful. Assassins breed so slow and they are big enough to siphon out anyway.
