Why is there a conch or something on the filter cotton in the fish tank?

There are many reasons why this snail appears on the filter cotton. Let's talk about the possible causes of this snail and how to solve this problem.

List:

1: The reason why snails appear: First of all, it may be brought by tap water. Many aquariums and fish tanks come from tap water. If this tap water has not been treated by pure water machine or high-density water purification, it will be directly added to the aquarium. This practice may bring snail eggs, which are like small jelly in the early stage and are not easy to be found, so they can easily enter tap water. It may also be brought by the aquatic plants in the aquarium. These aquatic plants are likely to have snail eggs or snails on their leaves. There is another possibility, which may be brought by the fish itself, but this possibility is relatively low, but it is not without this possibility.

2. Removal methods: There are still many removal methods. Such as manual cleaning, this cleaning method is relatively simple and environmentally friendly, but it is only a waste of time. Generally, this method is to clean the fish tank thoroughly and catch all the snails in the fish tank. Remember to kill the snail eggs, or snails will grow in the fish tank again. The other is the so-called biological removal method, which can generally put eight-character dolls or underwater fish. Both kinds of fish belong to snails. They will eat up snails, but they will not affect fish and aquatic plants. However, figure-eight dolls prefer slightly alkaline water quality. If the snail control task is completed, it should be removed as much as possible. Bottom fish have a rough temperament. If there are some fast-swimming fish such as Australian rainbow or tiger skin in the fish tank, you can put the submarine directly into the tank and let them kill snails. If it is a peacock or a traffic light, it is best not to put the submarine directly. You can take the fish out of the tank first and put it in the submarine. After about 3 to 4 days, there will be basically no snails left, and then the bottom fish will be fished out and put back in the original fish tank. This method is still very effective.
