Easy Snail Collector

This snail collector is amazing! I rotate it through my tanks as needed and check it every day. This is the simplest way I have found to collect snails and move them to their new tank. I have found fish inside of it, but they were alive and well. The fish get tempted by the bait, so it's important to check the collector every day.

I reviewed this below where I explained that I love it and think it is fantastic and you should buy one.

Something I did not know: the melting point of plastic used to make 3D prints is a bit lower than for more traditional plastic, especially in sunlight.

I put a lot of aquarium equipment out to dry in sunshine because the UV light helps kill a lot of the things I want to avoid spreading between tanks. I tried that with this on a 90+ degree day and I melted it.

I contacted the Coop and received exceptional customer service, as always, but please learn from my mistake don't melt yours in the sun!

My shrimp tank has gotten out of control with bladder & rams horn snail. Impossible to eradicate without tearing the tank apart and risking harm to my shrimp colony.
Enter Easy Snail Collector, on it’s 3 soak now and I can see a significant decline in the snail population in this tank.

Besides removing these pesky critters, I now have primo food for my fish. Crushed them with a spoon in a plate and fed all my fish tanks, fish loved them!

Thank you Coop for continuing to bring great products to our hobby.

Works great! I like the ramshorn snails, but trumpet snails really becoming a problem. I used algae wafers that worked best on the trumpet snails. I have an unsteady hand so it’s difficult for me to get the shrimp out when they go in. I wish they couldn’t get in.

This is genius, I love it, and I am going to buy a back up just in case I ever manage to break it or lose it. I feed a lot of Repashy to my bristlenose and the tank becomes overrun with pest snails who like to swarm the expensive food so the fish can't get to it.

This design is the best I have found! The capacity is high, the assembly and use are easy, and snails climb in, but they can't climb out. Shrimp and baby fish can climb out, but not snails. In particular, it does a great job getting teeny tiny ramshorn and pond snails.

I have tried two other models of snail trap. One did not have sufficient capacity and also dropped snails as I lifted it out. The other used a complicated and difficult to set assembly of plastic pins. That one was great in theory, but I came home to find a 2 inch baby bristlenose stuck in it, and though the snails were going in, they were also going back out.

I received the collector yesterday, put it in the tank and didn't quite wait the 24 hours as stated in the instructions, but it worked great. My only minor gripe is that the lid was a tiny bit loose so it wanted to come off as I lowered and raised it, but it's nothing a simple rubber band cant fix.

Very happy with the results of using this snail collector. My tanks tank you for it!

I had high hopes for this item and it did not fail to amaze me. Where have you been all my life? It filled up the first night and even captured 6 Corydoras (unharmed of course).

I've already reviewed this product, but that was on day two. It worked like crazy then but over the past couple weeks it has been absolutely fantastic. I made several mistakes from feeding elsewhere in my shrimp tank to not getting the air out (lid will lift). Fixed all that and my snail population is down to minimal. I don't know that I'll ever be rid of snails completely based on bladder snails being so prolific, but my tank is a hundred times nicer. Plus there is much less bioload to deal with. I don't bother with the little screen trap at the bottom since the snails can't really get out anyway and the shrimp can easily chow down all they want. Literally can't say enough great things about this product. Get one, or two!

This works! I've tried other snail traps and the snails can get back out and the trap would also keep floating up. The snails stay in this trap and they're easy to remove. It catches shrimp, but doesn't kill them. Great product
