Ista Snail Trap

The Ista Snail Trap offers an effective and environmentally friendly way to manage and reduce excessive snail populations in freshwater and marine aquariums. Overpopulation of snails can become a common issue, especially in planted tanks, where they multiply rapidly and may damage plants or compete with other inhabitants for food. The Ista Snail Trap helps restore balance without the use of harsh chemicals or medications that could harm fish, shrimp, or plants.

Using a natural baiting method, the trap lures snails into its specially designed chamber, which prevents them from escaping once inside. A portion of Ista’s included snail food can be used as bait, drawing snails directly into the trap. Alternatively, the trap can also be used to capture bristle worms in marine aquariums, making it a versatile solution for a variety of unwanted tank dwellers.

McMerwe comments: The food that comes with it is not great, small pieces of pork or chicken works better. [Rating: 3/5]
