I can't seem to stay off Cragslist!! Bought a 30 gal, was dirty but in good condition. But this is how I have been getting my heaters and light and fish supplies.  These were taken 4-14-09 When I counted there was a 190 of them. May have did a boo boo here or there ;D |

Just curious, what do you feed them? Do you sell them or are they just for fun?

Wow, that's a lot of snails. Nice idea for a tank. Is it possible the snails are overstocked or perhaps they are just building a snail city. XD

Just curious, what do you feed them? Do you sell them or are they just for fun? Snails will just about eat anything... The only thing I have found that they don't like is carrots. But their fav. is the radish tops cooked till it sinks. Snails also eat algae,dead things, or when you over feed, which I seem to do They love any veggie, pretty much Yes Renee it was really overstocked!! Never thought that many snails would live!!! Live and learn!!  I have been trading my snails at the lfs for fish items...I get a dollar a pc for the little buggers!! I am working on some cool ones that are all white with like black swirls Kind of like a tiger.. |

Cool. I didn't know snails would eat so many things. Maybe because I just had one snail at a time when I had them apart from the 7 I got one time. For me I found that they were quite finicky eaters, the yellow-shelled ones that is. Or maybe they weren't and I thought that just because I gave one snail a big piece of cucumber and never saw much difference in the size of the cucumber like it ate anything.

WOW!! its been almost a year? I have traded well over a 1,000 snails! Even had to buy another tank. Got a great deal on it too $35.00 for a new 55 gal, was brand new! Gotta love Craigslist. Will get pictures soon. I would say I still have 400 or better baby snails!! Good thing they grow slow in colder water!!  |
