Everyone is always trying to get rid of snails from their Aquariums, but I want snails. Tiny ramshorns for preference.
Why? because I have puffers and it's their favourite food. I often go to my local pet store and badger them for snails from their tanks but they're getting pretty sick of me now.
50 or so snails about the size of a guppy fry last about 2 hours in a tank with four dwarf puffers
So I want to breed them myself- anyone got any tips?
Or does anyone know of anyhere that sells ramshorn snail eggs or hachlings by mail or online?
I considered raiding my local canal and river for snails, but I'm concerned about disease & parasites.
Of course the puffers will happily eat loads of other things, but they love their snails.
