is this safe to use in a tank with snails?

Yes. And, especially the fish. I have an aquarium going now for ten years, and some fish are that old. Algone is the reason, or, maybe I just hold my mouth right.

I've used it in my tank with snails on many occasions without any problems. My snails are still safe and happy. I am not saying it is or isn't safe, simply saying that in my tank, my snails are doing great using Algone on a regular basis. Keeps the water clear and healthy as well!

Well I have about 30 of these snails. One beta and two shrimp. I have learned to buy all my aquatic creatures as young as I can find them. That way the can adjust to my Eco system. When I bought big snails they all died, but my baby snails and juvenile shrimp are doing ok. I do not have a heater. However most of the summer my tank live in the basement. And I bring it back up in the fall. I do not have a turtle, but if you got maybe sixty snails, how many could your turtle eat !! &#128077; good luck

I have not used this mesh for snails, only rodents. Check with your local exterminating facility or garden pro shop to see what they recommend. It all depends on how well snails react to rough surfaces and since this mesh has rough surface it may or may not work.

They may be used as a space-saving aquarium or insect haven, but are also ideal for use as a small animal keeper. I do not know if it would be good for snails.

Sure. I would just be careful as the uv sterilizer portion of this is what was faulty and killed my fish.

The only invertebrates I have in my tank are ramshorn, pond and other snails. They r all ok.

Its certainly worth a try. Its all natural so it wont hurt your fish. Good luck!

In this tank, I do about a half-tank change once a month for my betta and it works fine. I have a snail in there that helps keep up with the algae and a moss ball to clean the water, too. There's not an actual filter in this one, just an air stone that I haven't needed to change.

no problem, it says, product is only toxic to fish (don't spray in tank); I successfully got rid of moths, I recommend it; I used it indoors because that's were my moth infested carpets were; and I am still alive, did not get sick, did not use a mask - just use it with common sense (don't spray our hair...)

You cannot use this inside a tank ever. You can't clean inside your tank with your turtles in it except with water.

I'm surprised you're clowns aren't eating the snails! My clowns love any snails I put in the tank. I'd be surprised if they didn't eat the assassins...

I have used it in planted tanks without problems, it is Malachite green and formalin so I would just be careful if you have animals or plants that are sensitive to those chemicals.

wish I could help, got it for my granddaughter. she used it at Monterey Bay Aquarium in some of the tanks but we have yet to see any pictures and that was last month. sorry.

Its basically a carbon source for your plants. I have never heard of incompatability with invertibrates. I have snails in my tank that are doing fine for years. The only thing I heard that was toxic to amonos was copper.

As far as I know it's fine for everything. There are no warnings on the bottle and it certainly doesn't bother my snails so at normal concentrations you should be okay. It even says on the very bottom of the directions that it's safe for invertebrates including shrimp, so you should be fine. There are some out there who use it at very high doses and you might run into trouble if that's your plan, but at normal doses it seems completely harmless.

No. You don't want to use this where pets or children can ingest it. It works great on the snails and slugs, but it is also poisonous to pets and humans.

I've been using this for two years in two ponds. So far all"s well as for the fish, snails and plants. Don't have any shrimp, so I can't answer to that.
