Snail populations can quickly get out of control in a freshwater aquarium, making it difficult to maintain balance in your tank. Instead of relying on chemicals that may harm your fish, shrimp, or plants, this 3D printed snail trap provides a safe, natural, and reusable solution for controlling pest snails.

Safe & Aquarium-Friendly Materials

Each trap is 3D printed from PETG plastic, a material chosen specifically for its aquarium safety and durability. PETG is strong, long-lasting, and does not leach harmful chemicals, making it safe for use with sensitive species of shrimp and fish.

Simple, Effective Design

The snail trap is made up of two interlocking pieces:

Bottom chamber – collects and traps the snails once they enter.
Top cover – features a specially designed entry opening that allows snails to crawl in but prevents them from escaping.

The grated base allows natural water circulation, so the trap doesn’t interfere with your aquarium’s flow. It also makes the trap easy to lift straight out of the tank without creating suction or disturbing plants and substrate.

Easy to Use & Maintain

Place a small piece of food (such as algae wafer, blanched vegetables, or fish food) inside the trap.
Submerge the trap in your aquarium and let it rest on the substrate.
Snails will be attracted to the food and crawl inside.
When ready, simply remove from your tank and unscrew the top to pour out the collected snails.

The screw-top lid makes cleaning and emptying quick and hassle-free. Since it’s completely reusable, you can use it as often as needed until your snail population is under control.
