I have a 100 gal tank with a horrible snail infestation. Maybe more than 500 of them. How many assassin snail I need to effective treat them

Not enough information to accurately answer your question. a) can we assume this is a freshwater tank? b) what kind of snail is infesting your tank? First thing, manually remove as many as you can. 500 snails can multiply rapidly and are usually an indicator of overfeeding. Assuming a) is correct, then first thing to consider would be a Yo-Yo or Botias Loach. You'd have no problem with size in a 100G tank and they *love* snails.

these snails will do well in almost any size tank, the goldfish may pose a small problem but the breed prolifically so a few lost wont mean much overall.

I have river rock, and a pleco as well. They do a decent job as far as cleaning. But I have 6 in my 40g tank, and could use a few more for them to be highly effective!

In my 70 gallon freshwater tank, after using Flourish, I noticed elimination of green and brown algae, but I have a bluish grey green hairy algae that still grows on a few leaves of my plants. I did get some Otto Catfish and they're eating the algae but you'd probably need 6 or 7 of these to keep the tank under control.

No - but they didn't work for our tank. The died pretty quickly and weren't able to help with our snail population. We were disappointed.

The crayfish I have had in the past never seemed to bother my snails. They were very tiny snails, what ever they were. I only had problems with my crayfish fighting with each other.

I think it is too many. I use mine to mist orchids on a timer and if you have lots of mineral in your water you will need to clean them often. I soak the heads in vinegar.

before answering how much water is in the tank and how dirty are the animals living in the tank. I'l using the XP-M for one rather large and dirty red eared slider - and it does great job. Its a little overkill for a breeders tank (holding about 30 gals of water). I went overkill so I would have to clean as often.

18-20 gals, a full tank. Don't repeat at half tank fill ups theres already enough in there to treat it. Run it down to last 2-4 gals and then use one bottle to a full tank fill up.

Being that its an apartment i would say 4 tubes because the bait will attract roaches from other apartments ajoining. Also need gentrol point source igr discs. Its always harder to control roaches in apartments. Unless all the apts treat.

They should do great, just get 3 or 5. They will eat the leftover food and other snails.

I have many fish sick and a lot died because of this product (almost 100% sure). I have been dealing with aquariums for more than 30 years.This product has something that is very toxic.

It's a bit weak for a proper 5 gallon tank. Go for the Hydor Theo 25 watt submersible. It has adjustable temperature settings and doesn't cook my snails when they crawl over it.

I would think that four or six tubes would be plenty. I also used Terro Liquid Ant Traps, they work well.

A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon. Maybe a snail would be alright, but definitely not the frog because it would produce too much waste for the small tank and the small filter. My tank is home to 1 betta and live plants. I also have a heater because bettas need 80 degrees F water, since they are tropical fish. My 1 betta is very active and always exploring and hiding in the plants.I would google "basic betta care" and "nitrogen cycle" and do a little reading before buying any animals. Remember fish are living beings and will depend on you for your care, so do your best to provide them a good home =) A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon.

This barely cleared a 75 gallon tank. I would look for a commercial unit. Maybe call your local aquarium and ask the maintenance or facilities personnel where they get theirs.
