Nice snails. I want to get some for my corydoras tanks, but Im afraid to. Do snails carry any diseases?

 

[Lynz781]

I don't know but I havn't had any problems with them in that respect, no deaths anyway or anything out of the ordinary. What type were you thinking?

The thing that stops me getting snails is the water they need, the soft acidic water that my fish like will burn the snails shells. I've heard that MTS dont mind acidic water, so im going to try some of them. Right now i have them in a tank with a coral sand substrate, so its alkaline.
Nice snails, especially the mahogany trumpet .

Well, I really had thought about it. I had some golden apple snails, but they are very messy and I cant have that. I have mostly corydoras and the bottom has to be spotless for them. I know you have come cories too. Have any recommendations?

I woudn't have said apple snails were messy. I reccomend them and malaysian trumpet snails. Ramshorn reproduce too much.

The ones I had pooped non stop. They were laying eggs non-stop too. I might give them another try and see what happens. Thanks for the help

Could I keep a snail with shrimp and maybe some guppies in a 5.5 gallon?

 

[Lynz781]

What sort of snail and shrimp? My amano shrimp and snails get on compatibility wise. As for guppies I don't know, never kept them and not sure if they are nosey fish?

Beautiful snails! I love the mahogany trumpet!

Amano Shrimp, Ghost (Glass) Shrimp, Cherry Red Shrimps. As for snail Im not exactly sure yet maybe an Apple Snail or two?

 

[puddle_inc]

[dizzied]

I suppose they're referring to http/www.snailshop.co.uk a UK-based snail shop

 

[Lynz781]

Yeh thats the shop. Dunno about gost shrimp, but amano and cherry are fine with apple snails. I've notices the two trumpet snails spen alot of thier time above the sand though.
