I watched your video before buying the JBL snail trap and was dubious however I am so impressed and happy with this product. I have so many unwanted pest snails and this was my first attempt at using it and I can’t believe the results. Consequently I have ordered a 2nd one for my other aquarium. I feel that I can see a way forward with a situation that was beating me. Thank you for your comparisons. This really works
Liked video! Try your way. 2 changes 1- put a saucer down first. A bigger terra cotta watering bottom would work. 2 - set the pot upside down with wafers inside on the bottom watering saucer. The hole would be the only way in and out. No fish getting a free meal.
I made a snail trap cutting down a plastic bottle and making a small bottle, gluing one side together with my hot glue gun. Then I took my wood burning tool and make lots of holes (entrances) on the sides all around. I glued a screw on the inside bottom to put the cucumber piece on and would add weight to it. I tied a string on the lid so I could haul it out of the water when mission accomplished. I put it in the tank overnight and in the morning hauled out a sizable amount of snails.
Can’t argue with those results! I’ll be honest just looking at them I assumed the bottle was going to win it but I was proved wrong. That’s why these tests are great. Unless JBL have paid you off! And you spent all night forcing snails into that trap 🤣🤣
I have found that just dropping in algae wafer into the tank and waiting several hours till I get a mound of them then I swishing them into a net I get dozens this way.
I used the plastic bottle method it caught plenty of snails but also my fish made there way in there and couldn't get out!! I've recently but a cheap one from ebay but it hasn't been very successful. I'll go for the one now which you used, the green one that caught loads of 🐌 🐌 🐌. Enjoyed watching your experiment thanks very much.I hate snails they make me cringe .
I would like to know how do these little blighters get into ones tank in the first place..I don’t have live plants..but have found three tiny horn like ones at the bottom of my substrate sand.
Thanks! I think I've got my bladder snails under control now but if it kicks off again I'll go with this. Easier and cheaper than getting some assassin snails :D
Also, you can just use jars of any size, no lid...glass jars stay down well...and as a bonus, if you need to transfer fish, use jars...put a frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp or wafer in...while they're busy eating, put your fingers over the opening and pick the jar up. Happy fish keeping!
Great video. My snails are in my plecko and blue shrimp tank. I have 4 smallish pleckos, full grown yellow blue eyes and 3 red sovereign so I am worried they could be strong enough to enter the JBL unit. Do you think this is an unrealistic fear?
Invest in a small tank with pea puffers in it, you're not killing them yourself and you're also giving your pea buddies a good feast its the second reason I wanted pea puffers next to loving the little dudes
Lol, the algae wafer technique is how I get out some of the bladder snails from my Walstad tank. I then donate the snails to my local pet store's aquatic plant tank (they give me permission to do this).
When I had a problem with Ramshorn snail I just turned the light out at night waited a few hours and when they were all over the glass I just scraped the net up the glass, got about 80-100 snails every couple of days till it got back to a reasonable number
Awesome video! Very informative, I've tried snail traps but I got cheap ones that didn't work to well. Although I don't have a huge issue with them, I've sold hundred on ebay haha, so at least those buggers pay the bills
No wonder my snail trap didn't work. I assumed they would all stay in the bottle eating all night long and I could just pull them all out. Apparently they eat a little bit and leave?
Hello to you, after much research on you tube i watched this great video on catching snails but my problem is more what to do with them for i truly cannot kill them. I bought to rams horn snails on the grounds that the seller told me they cannot accumulate unless they are in salt water yet i do not have a salt water tank and only a few fish, Tetra and guppies and after 2 months i must now have over a hundred of them Grr!.. my tank is small too so please can you tell me how i can get rid of them without killing them? Thank you so much :)
Question: How on earth do you grow one billion snails? I worked hard to establish a good (I believed) snail colony in my tank. I think I've got maybe a handful. I've never seen more than 3 or 4 at a time. Do you feed them special snail food extra from the lot you feed your fish?
I'm not sure this was a fair test. With all three in at once the snails are probably attracted to whichever one they can smell easiest. I.e. Your pot first then the jbl then your water bottle. No flow in the bottle so most probably didn't know it was there? Maybe a fairer test would be to do each one for 24 hours on its own? Just a thought. Nice video though and shows the job works.
When you have so many snails, just suck them out with an air tube!!! You could have gotten all of those hundreds of snails out more easily in a couple of minutes... Though it might be messier if your top substrate is sand (mine is fine gravel)
This looks great, but are afraid my tiny salt and pepper corydoras or the shrimps would risk getting caught in it 🤔 Are they safe for all fishes? Also been looking at assassin snails, but don't want them to kill my military helmet snails 🙈 Or risk my Betta take a chunk from their "snable" 😅
You can adjust the gates to keep smaller fish out - but there is a risk they could still get in. As long as you check fairly regularly it shouldn't be a problem though, you can just release the fish and remove the snails!

Great experiment - and pretty amazing result. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Omg that JBL trap! Haha its too full 😂 ok im gettin one! Thank you
Liked video!

Great video as I have a snail issue in my tank after buying some new plants about 3 months ago will get that JBL trap now
Nice one - make sure you use the link in the description so I get 0.7p affiliate commission😂😂!
How do you get the snails out of the JBL trap? Or are you just supposed to throw the whole thing away?
Can’t argue with those results! I’ll be honest just looking at them I assumed the bottle was going to win it but I was proved wrong. That’s why these tests are great.
Unless JBL have paid you off! And you spent all night forcing snails into that trap 🤣🤣
I thought the JBL one was going to be last - and mine best. Couldn't have called it more wrong!
Thanks, this is very informative. I now know i can help iradicate my snail issue without trapping my pleco's!
I have found that just dropping in algae wafer into the tank and waiting several hours till I get a mound of them then I swishing them into a net I get dozens this way.

Really enjoy your videos ☺️ thanks 🙏
Glad you like them!
Interesting! But how do you get them out of the JBL one.
Hmm, I should have mentioned that, sorry! The dome bit just pops off 👍
Thank you Sir.
Great video, where can i buy a snail trap like the one you have ?
Great video
Great test good to know. 🐌😊👍
Thanks 👍
Will the JBL trap work with River Neon Gobies in the tank? Or do you think they would get trapped too?
Do you keep them in with your Discus?
Very interesting to know is it easy to get them out the jbl one tho
Yeah the dome lid bit just pops off 👍
Thanks! I think I've got my bladder snails under control now but if it kicks off again I'll go with this. Easier and cheaper than getting some assassin snails :D
👍
What did you do with the snails?

😋😋😋yummy on toast😂

Cheers dude.

Just ordered one. $35 in USA ! Hope it works.
Enjoyed this one. Great little snail catcher........shame I can't get one though as don't have any snails at all. 😃
Well, that is the best way to get rid of pest snails!!
Buy some plants and don't soak them in hydrogen peroxide first and you will😂
I wonder if Ramsnail eats AR plant?
Thanks for the video
No problem!
I don't think you even need the cap on the juice bottle! Seen some that just put in a slice of cucumber and haul out bits and snails together
I ordered an assassin snail just one. I don't want a problem with them too. I have guppy fish and I've read they won't bother them? I sure hope not.
JBL need to make it bigger.same principal as a crab pot.🐡👍
Yep - bigger would be better!
Just wanna double check that those tiny baby peppermint brustlenose catfish shouldn’t be able to get into the JBL Limcollect snail trap right?
Put a pie tin under your traps, and you can carefully take them all out
My question is where do you put the snails once you’ve caught them? I don’t really wanna kill them but don’t want them in my tank
Could sell or give them away maybe?
you can boil and eat them with soy sauce my grandpa used to do it
Invest in a small tank with pea puffers in it, you're not killing them yourself and you're also giving your pea buddies a good feast its the second reason I wanted pea puffers next to loving the little dudes
This guy reminds me of my school teacher, I can easily listen to him 24/7
Cant find it Amazon

Lol, the algae wafer technique is how I get out some of the bladder snails from my Walstad tank. I then donate the snails to my local pet store's aquatic plant tank (they give me permission to do this).
I can't find anything similar for sale in the US 😞
are those assasin snails? wish you could give them to me lol
I do have some assassin snails, but these are Malaysian trumpet snails
When I had a problem with Ramshorn snail I just turned the light out at night waited a few hours and when they were all over the glass I just scraped the net up the glass, got about 80-100 snails every couple of days till it got back to a reasonable number
Good plan!
What did you do with those you caught?
@@ancientruby7116 sold them on eBay
Can’t say I’m a huge fan.,, I have one, khuli loaches ended in there LOL
Yep, could be a problem for snail sized fish! I did see a young BN trying to sn ak in!
how do you remove the SNAILS FROM THE JBL TRAP
The top pops off, then you scoop them out
@@AquariumAdventures thankyou for the advice
I got 2 ramshorn snails, within 2 weeks I took out 180 snails! Still getting more 3 months later.
Awesome video! Very informative, I've tried snail traps but I got cheap ones that didn't work to well. Although I don't have a huge issue with them, I've sold hundred on ebay haha, so at least those buggers pay the bills
They're useful little blighters!
No wonder my snail trap didn't work. I assumed they would all stay in the bottle eating all night long and I could just pull them all out. Apparently they eat a little bit and leave?
Think the first lot were social distancing and the others are at a house party 🤔😂
They were just waiting for the lights to go out to get the party started!
The JBL trap works because it looks like a little disco and the snails are going to get funky.
Put a leaf of lettuce or cabbage in overnight and it will be covered in the morning!
Yep that works - unless the fish eat it first!

Thank you so much :)
I think they seek to kill 🐚 you !!!
I would like to try it but I think it is a corydora trap too lol.
Would the JBL work with mini ramshorn snails?
It would - i've used it on ramshorns too
No traps needed Just a bit of lettuce Night or day Snails love it

If only I knew! I don't feed the snails specifically - but do feed the fish quite heavily.
Get some Clown Loaches or Koi Carp. They love to eat these snails and you'll have none left in your fish tank or pond.
lol fyi. The subtitles say P*ss when you say pest.
Thanks for video

I think 'which one attracts them better' is a core part of the test.

Please give me the small snails🐌
welcome to them!
I bought a JBL trap and would only get 1 snail a night. Ended up throwing it away.
Of just give them to a pet store mystery snails are a lovely pet 😢
💯👍👍
I give mine to the pet store
