I was literally just scouring the web for this very answer. I know they are good but I have about a billion.. does anyone know if there are fish that will keep these in check?

I have some on my snails. Almost looks like they have eyelashes.

Oh, if one starts riding a snail or hermit crab, I'm calling it Hopalong Cassidy. You should name yours Lash LaRue! I'm a GIANT nerd, so I looked up cowboy names [emoji3]

If your tank is large enough, copperband or yellow longnose butterfly fish will happily snack on them.

I’ve read a million horror stories of the six line. The canary seems interesting, LA says fish only and I have a bare bottom tank. So I’d have to try the dish with sand. I might have to give it a go.
