[squirt_12]

well i wanted to clean everything in my 33g....so i took everything out and i wanted to swish the gravel around with my hands to get all of the dirt out and let the filter suck it up....so i took most of the snails out of the gravel an di still have ALOT left in the tank.....but just look at how many i pulled out. it is insane. about 100 in that little cup.

lol, thats a puffers dream snack! you should sell them on ebay as puffer food

[Algenco]

agree with cocoa, I see people selling them for puffer food all the time

[squirt_12]

nah...too much of a bother. THen i have to package them and then ship them....way to big of a bother. But in the tank i have about 125+ of them. I think that i am going to put a bunch with my lone puffer and some in the fiddler crab tank and maybe some in each of the betta tanks. THen maybe i will put the rest back in to the 33g. lol.

I have only 3 snails! i need some for the puffers I will get! Do you think i could breed them? Maybe put them in the breeding net? lol. But really, would this work? You have so many! How did you get them all?

honestly...i just left the few in the tank and let them do their business....lol......what type do you have????? they may be to young to lay eggs.

[shockshockshad]

They are the little ramshorns I think. They are about 1/2 a centimeter long, black, and have a point on their shell. Thats what ramshorns are right?
