Hi,
in my 130L Aquarium i have aquired masses of Pond snail eggs, i have an assassin snail that is doing a great job of eating the larger snails but he seems to ignore the smaller ones and the eggs are just building up :(

i have 20 Female guppies
4 Male guppies
2 Female mollies
1 male molly
1 sucking loach ( Temporary measure untill my LFS get some new pleco's stocked(also i have read terrible things on this fish and the one i have is nothing but friendly and a great algae eater :S))

and about 15 Guppy fry,

i am well aware i am overstocked,
but i gravel vack and 15% water changes twice weekly, and i have 6 fast groving plants that eat up alot of toxins,

my ammonia and nitrite levels are 0ppm

Are there any suitable fish ( or anything else for that matter) that will tackle the snail eggs?


Also i have found 3 insect-y things in my tank, i have a feeling they are the result of uneaten live bloodowrm could that be the case?

they all looked like the thing i have draw in the attached photo, are they harmfull to fish? how can i make sure i remove them all?

Thanks for all help and advice
