SnailPocalypse, you pay shipping...I can ship anywhere...seriously....lol
Byron, I thought they were pond snails. But I don't know my "snails" that well. I have not really noticed any plant damage. I have one water wisteria with holes in the leaves, but I never really see a snail on it. Although I see everywhere else!
hobby5, it is not a food thing. These started from eggs on a plant I put in the tank, and I didn't even fish yet, so I wasn't feeding at all. Of course I am now, so that might not be helping matters, but they started multiplying before I had fish to feed. Believe me, I don't know why I have so many. I did a sand vac and what I thought was detritus was baby snails !
What is seen in those pictures is by far not the only snails in the tank. That was just what found the cory food that was not eaten.
I don't really know how to ship, but I guess just a baggie of water, sealed good. I will certainly give it a try to anyone who wants to pay shipping. I have plenty to go around and they are in all my tanks. I don't know what plant they came in on but I have my suspicions it was the anacharis. It was the only plant I put some of in each of my 3 tanks. Funny thing about that is all of it died...in all 3 tanks...but not before seeding with snail eggs....sighhhhhh
