My brothers tank is overrun with literally 100s maybe even 1000s lol I don't know what to do &/or how to get did of them.

Any ideas? There's soooo many.

The tank has demasoni in there just to let everyone know in case this makes any difference.

Ok, I'll have to look into some Pete thanks. There is a lot of them haha.
They don't usually bother me, not too many most of the time. But this is crazy!

I have found traps pretty much useless. Experience may vary, I guess.

I have another solution.

Haha! If you find one you will have to fight me to the death for it!

Id grab a common ol tandanus and see how it goes. They like harder, higher pH water and survive pretty well with murray cod so as long as they have some size to them, the demasoni wont be a bother to them!

Poncho, how sweet of you to care. That was me making that noise with my front end, though. This is transcribed as "pfft", as in "your hearing is 'pfft' "
