## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best snail trap with bait for aquariums
*by B***. on April 14, 2025*

This snail trap is superior to other similar "looking" traps on Amazon. This one sinks properly to the bottom of the tank. It also includes snail bait (algae pellets). Plus it's available direct from amazon and you don't have to wait weeks for it to be shipped from China.I only bought one of these and four of the cheaper ones. I barely use the cheaper ones and use this one all the time.

### ⭐ Doesn't work :(
*by K***N on December 2, 2024*

The media could not be loaded. Save your money as this product, sadly, does not work. I had ordered plants (elsewhere) several months ago and literally the day after they arrived, I was in a wreck. No hospital stay but to say I was hurting like crazy would be an understatement so the plants stayed put in the box they came in for an extra day or two. When I knew that I had no choice but to get the plants in the tank, I was hurting to much to do the usual 1 part bleach:1 part water plant bath to ensure there were no snail eggs so of course I ended up with a HUGE snail infestation. I stopped feeding my fish and shrimp in an attempt to starve off some of the snails but they simply turned to eating all of my plants, including the new ones 😫.There has to be well over 100 snails in my tank with only a piece or two of plant life left so I purchased this with the hopes that it would work. It does not. I followed the directions and well, you can see in the picture that only 1 snail happened to be on a rock I had to put in the tray to hold it down (as the trap would not sink on it's own) but that was the only snail that was 'caught'. I even purchased an extra trap (the smaller one) and it also 'caught' zero snails as is shown in the video. Think I'll take the few fish I have along with my shrimp and shove them into my little 3 gallon with a prayer that they survive while I simply put bleach in my 40 gallon and start over.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not affective for me
*by E***B on September 15, 2023*

It's a great idea but it didn't work well for me. It took a day for one or two snails to even be interested. The snails would only take their food to go and wouldn't dine-in, making it hard to capture a great amount of snails at one time.A trap where they enter and can't escape would be something more ideal. Sadly I had to return this item.
