Question on Trumpet snails

[peettee79]

will it be OK to throw in a heap of trumpet snails befor the tank is cycled, they will be the only thing in there until it is complete, just wondering if they are hardy enough to servive. Water is rite temp, there is a single powerhead with sponge from another tank in there now for 3 days.

They'll be fine, though won't be able to find much to eat in a new and clean tank.

I think they'll die. They're snails and like any other snail, extremely sensitive to ammonia levels.
