Malaysian Trumpet Snails

[midmichman80]

Anyone have some they want to get rid of? Looking for good sand aeration. Thanks for looking.

I have lots. How many do you want? I just tossed a few dozen out into the yard but have plenty more where they came from.

Sweet!!!!

You have that many you throw them into the yard, I'll take a couple dozen if you would. How much would ya need for that? Thanks for looking out.

ive been wanting some snails...even if they might get eaten, better than being thrown away right?

ha, i've got malaysian trumpet snails coming out of my ears! if you get a few dozen you'll soon have hundreds. They're great though, they look cool and dont distrub plants.

the thing is you'll never see them in the day, but at night they'll literally be everywhere *crazysmil

I love these little guys! For some reason I never have a problem with over population, they seem to keep at a steady number in my tank, no one is eating them either.

Yah!!! Thanks Tom. The snails made it yesterday. They had a long cold trip and the water was real cold. I didn't have much time to acclimate these guys, I actually just pulled them out of the cold water and threw them into my tank as they came 20 minutes before I left for work. When I got home from work last night all but 3 or 4 had buried themsleves already and the remaining ones have moved on as well. It was 100% for survival rate. Thanks again Tom, it is good to have people like you in this community.

Snails!!!!!!

I have some sort of snail that i guess came in hiding on plants. I hate them and want to get rid of them but the stuff that kills them will kill RCS and Ghost. Any ideas how to get rid of them.

Snails!!!!!!

The snails start as small brownish see through and darken up as they get older with spots on them. I hate them I want to getthem out.*crazysmil

kayliwolf, you might want to look into getting some Yoyo Loaches, or ask a LFS if other loaches might work for your situation, they will gobble them badboys up. Ramshorn snails are cool, but i only have 1 in each tank, no way i want 100's of them things in my tank, they are a nuisance.
