Hello my fellow plant hobby friends, I have found the solution to SNAIL OUTBREAKS. FEMALE BETTAS. Please pass this info along!! They love eating snails. I had hundreds in my tank and after 2 days they were completely gone with the introduction of ONE female betta.

Bettas will eat whatever fits in their mouth pretty much always but depends on the personality.

I support Devin's observations. I purchased a pair of female bettas from April to test his theory and have seen them target snails in my tank.
