Hi,
So I had a severe vermetid snail outbreak. The vermetid snails where everywhere, so I removed them by taking out every single rock and crushing the vermetids. I probably crushed more than 100 of them (the outbreak was bad). Fast forward a couple of weeks and I notice them appearing again (probably about 8 of them at this point). Me being lazy, I ignore the problem and during a visit to my lfs, I decide to get 2 turbos.
Fast forward 2 more weeks and I can't see a single vermetid snail. The only thing that changed are the turbos.
I don't get it, are the turbos eating the vermetids? Or are they just crushing them when they bulldoze through the aquarium? (FYI, the vermetids are of the smaller kind and the turbos are absolutely massive in size).
What do you think?
