Thanks Marie, but I think Steve has a few astreas for me to try.

Are your snails like ceriths, but smaller? At one point I had 7 billion of those in my tank. Nobody came to visit without going home with the bag o' snails!!

Yea those are the ones. You can't see into the tank at night because there are so many snails on the glass

I found my population lasted at most about 4 months. After that, they quickly disappeared and now there are none.

Every summer when my tank reaches 85 degrees I get patches of cyanobacteria and the snails get a new lease on life producing thousands of babies. I have had them for over 3 years now.I wouldn't mind them, they disappear into the sand during the day, but they keep falling into my monti caps and dying.
