I started a snail breeding tank about 2 weeks ago. I have bucket, maybe 3 gallons, and put an inch or so of pea gravel on the bottom and all the spare rocks and broken clay pots I could find. I had a spare air pump laying around so I hooked it up to some tubing and tied a knot in the tubing to slow the flow of bubbles down a bit. I put a feeder fish in and went to petsmart and got about 200 snails out of their tanks for free and put them in the bucket, and came home and rubber banded a cucumber slice and some lettuce to a rock and threw that in there. Water changed 25% every other day, and a week later threw some snails into my main tank which were promptly gobbled up by the puffers, loaches and knifefish. The snails crawl up to the water surface, maybe come halfway out of the water, but its not like theyre going anywhere far.
