Next to impossible. I pull out as many as I can whenever I do a monthly cleaning of my tank. That, coupled with frequent gravel vacuuming and the immediate removal of any egg sacs you find, is probably the most efficient method. Another trick is to put in a piece of lettuce or cucumber, wait 30 minutes to a couple of hours, and take out the vegetable and all the snails on it, then throw it away. You can also put a vegetable into a plastic bottle, then remove the bottle when the snails get into it.

Depending upon what type of snail you have, you may be able to prevent them from laying eggs by keeping the tank filled all the way to the top, with as little space between the water line and the top edge of the tank as possible. Mystery snails, aka apple snails, lay their eggs above the waterline, and they can't lay any eggs if the tank is filled up full.

If your snails are on your fish then it is a sign they can't find any other food so they are most likely eating the algae off your fish which ends up killing them because it removes the protective slime on the sides of your fish.

These words had to be defined before the question could be answered. So, defining the two terms: "Buccal" means "mouth" and "ganglia" is the plural of "ganglion" which is "a group of nerve cells" that is sort of a "sub" brain. So... the buccal ganglia are a two (one on each side) ganglia located under the back of a snail's mouth. They control the eating movements of the creature.

Yes, some types of slugs DO eat ferns. There are several different types of land slugs, so the answer to the question of what do slugs eat depends on which slug you are referring to.

The Selenochlamys ysbryda, also known as the ghost slug, can grow over two inches long. It is white in color, and actually is nocturnal. Due to its color and its nocturnal habits, it was named a ghost. It is a carnivorous slug, and feeds upon earthworms. It has teeth, which are extremely sharp.

The Arion lusitanicus, also known as the Portuguese slug, is part of the family of the Arionidae slugs. It's a larger slug, and you might be able to recognize it by its reddish brown color. It primarily feeds upon leaves, grass, and other plants in a garden.

The Arion vulgaris, also known as the Spanish slug, is native to Spain, parts of western France, and the south of England. It can grow up to twelve centimeters long, and has dark antennae. It is considered to be a highly invasive species of slug, due to their copious inhabitance in gardens. They primarily eat weeds, clover, grass, and other vegetation.

The Arion ater, also known as the black slug, can grow up to ten to fifteen centimeters in size. As the common name suggests, this slug is black in color. However, despite the name, this slug has been seen as different colors, including white. It primarily eats vegetation, such as grass, clovers, and leaves.

Get a container with some holes punched in the roof (not too big or the snail might escape) and fill it 1/3 - 1/2 with soil or compost. Put some places for yourpet to hide-rocks and vegetation are a good idea. Then for food, some fruit like strawberries or some damp paper or cardboard.

Hope this helps! x

What I think is that slugs are almost the same as insects so I would say they belong to the insect family.
