so i'm really pleased that my pond snail population has bloomed as of late but what is the best way to get the little buggers out? i fumble around and still only manage to get one or 2 little babies.

My snail tank is jam packed with plant trimmings, a net would be useless lol.

I have quite a few plants in there too so net would be out of the question. Tried the baited jar and i caught a few and two large ramshorns! I'll try and let them eat it and wait a day with out food so maybe the bait will be more tempting. i'll try the sinking wafers i use for my catfish, they love those so maybe that will tempt them more! thanks again for the ideas.
