LimCollect – an aquarium snail trap

This JBL trap is for aquarium owners dealing with a snail population that grows quickly, often after overfeeding. It catches snails without chemicals, so the tank water and its inhabitants are not treated. It is set up in the evening and removed the next day.

Why it matters

• No chemicals: the trap works by attracting snails, not by treating the water, so it can be used in a tank with fish and plants without adding active substances.
• Adjustable fish guard: two rods can be fixed at different heights, which limits the chance that fish swim into the trap by accident.
• Water flow through the trap: if a fish does enter, water passes through the trap, so it still gets oxygen.
• Inward-pointing barriers: once snails enter, the barriers stop them from leaving the trap.

What it works with

The trap is used in a standard aquarium setup: fill it with food, set the rod height, and place it in the tank overnight, when most fish are resting. Nocturnal bottom-dwelling fish such as armored catfish are more active at night, so the rod height should be chosen with them in mind. The same trap can also be used to catch shrimp and crayfish.
