Snails, Snails Everywhere!

John,
Package arrived today. Acclimated them and they are like a tidal wave across my tank now.

Great value so many extra snails in the order.... after lights out I'll bet there are 40 snails just on my glass.

I did get a small clam (1/4 inch) in my bag with my snails, which I thought was pretty cool...that is until I accidentally shot it out of my hand off onto my floor somewhere which I never found. So good, bad or ugly it seemed to survive the trip only to perish at my hand.

My brown bar goby did try to eat a few of the smaller snails but spit them back out pretty promptly.

Thanks again!

 

me too.. it was a great surprise to see how many snails came in the package..

 

My goby, sixline and coral banded all thought that John had send them something to eat so I spent the first half hour just keeping everything away from them until they could all get righted and moving.

do you have any idea how much a massive influx of snails will affect the bio-load of a tank?

 

They really dont bring too much in terms of bioload. To be safe I would treat them as adding one 2"-3" fish to account for the dead ones and not add anything for the next week so the system can catch up.

 

I can't wait to get my order next week! My tank needs it, algae is creeping up on me!

Good to hear you got so many goodies!

 

+1 to bama, 1 week minimum - thanks for covering for me by the way, I was stuck near the Fl Keys... ...good times.

 

My cuc is on it's way! I ordered 100+ snails. I am excited to have a strong clean up crew. Thanks John
