Everyday Tank Snails

[jo90]

Hiya

Would anyone know where I can get some everyday tank snails at all ? My Assassin's have had offspring and have litterally cleared my tank of snails. As much as some see them as an eyesore, they also help with the balance of any dead or dieing plants and algea. So would anyone know a good source ? Sounds rather morbid but I also want them for food for the Assassins

Cheers

John

I got my first lot of snails off eBay and now have 3 breeding tanks, 2 are pond snail and the other is red ramshorn. It doesn't take too long for them to start laying eggs all over the tank. I use these to feed my dwarf and figure eight puffers

Id probably just buy a plant, leave it in a spare small tank and watch them breed, i got my second batch in less than 2 weeks

1 batch a week of about 30

Dont touch them for a few weeks and watch that tank get infested with them

Then remove what you need for your maintank and leave the others breed

I dont say at it like rabbits anymore, more like at it like snails
