Help Gerwin Please....
I just noticed about five minutes ago much to my disliking....I have snails in my tank again and i don't know why. I used that medicine you gave me and it cleared the previous problem up with a few days. I even caught one snail trying to get out of the tank to get a way from the medicine and now I noticed that i had four snails in my tank again they are all about the size of flees I was able to reach in and pop some of them but there is one that i cant reach. where are ehy coming from. I havent got any new fish in my tank exept for 26 new born guppies and a male mickey platty i took from my dads tank thats it and i know my dads tank doesnt have snails. i don't understand it. what am I doing wrong?

lol, you cost me 90.00 Jamie, my router went down and I knew you needed my help asap so I went and bought a new one for this question so I could get back on line 
( you dont owe me )
so anyway the eggs probably were just not effected, do a partial water change or run some fresh carbon for a day and retreat, ionic copper breaks down fairly quick so it does not surprise me that its not killing snails anymore.
They are tuff little buggers

Re: Help Gerwin Please....
sorry 
...I took all the fish out of my tank and there is nothing in it at all. I did put more of the medication in there after the fish were removed and i put some sea salt in there i dont know if it will work but i know garden snails shrivel up when you put salt on them. I will definately start changing the water. what if i took the gravel out and washed it out would that help?

everything you do will help, but be careful, to thorough a cleaning may affect your bio filter, so dont over populate to soon after such cleanings.

Re: Help Gerwin Please....
ok i wasnt planning on it all fish are happy in my 10 gallon and thats where they will stay till i know its safe. the only problem i have with my 10 gallon is bottom feeders don't live long. they either get stuck in the filter or in a plant and die.but the other fish are happy. but i am going to scrub the gravel tomorrow. Again.
