Question 1

Will vinegar kill aquarium snails?

Accepted Answer

Vinegar will kill aquarium snails due to the acetic acid in vinegar. The acetic acid will destroy the snail by dissolving its shell and reacting with its tissue. You cannot add vinegar directly to a tank, so it is best used as a disinfectant dip for plants.

Question 2

Will aquarium salt kill snails?

Accepted Answer

Snails are more sensitive to salt than most freshwater fish. Aquarium salt won't kill snails as it doesn't contain the correct amount of sodium chloride to be toxic. The level of salt required to kill snails can also harm your fish.

Question 3

Will bleach kill aquarium snails?

Accepted Answer

Bleach kills snails as it contains chlorine which is toxic to all aquatic creatures. Never add bleach to your tank. Instead, use bleach as a sterilizing dip for plants and substrates before adding them to your tank.
