Hello friends,
I have recently been searching for some "snail free" Vals and Swords for a demo project I am going to work on. Everyone who had plants for sale all experienced snails in their tanks and on plants. So with that I hated missing out on some deals so I was just reading about how to rid your plants of snails before entering them into your clean tanks.
I have always QT my plants in the past before building a planted tank but all my sources were snail free. All my sources are out of Vals and Swords so I was reaching out to a few locals and they have snails. I am going to try a few tricks from this link

Before I do, has anyone tried these? I have only done the salt bath in the past with minimal results.
I am trying to work on small potted plant tank for some rams and cardinals. If anyone has some snail free plants, I am still interested.
