do they breed without heaters? i've got 3 snails (2 species too...) in a big olive jar and a plant that likes cold water that the LFS ripped me off on. (grr). they've been there for like a month, and no snail children. is it the temperature? it's about 18 degrees celcius, and seldom wanders over 20,...

mine sometimes begs, watches me drop the anneloid goodness, and then returns to begging or staring at my bracelet. mmm, cotton...

how big is big? (for others?) more than 250g?

well, i went to a not-so-local FS today and i OD-ed on weed! well, seawed that is or... whatever them aquarium plants are called. I spent $20 on them... :roll: . it's dense! and the last time I checked, the poor lad(esse?) couldn't figure out where to sleep, because i took his 'bed' ( a plastik plan...

any chance of DPs doing that?

one heck of an amazing story! hope the poor lad survives...

my dp does that sometimes... it's like what he does when i'm looking and it's not feeding time or something. he actually collected a 'moustache' of algae from glass surfing a few times.

then the question arises... how do they survive in the wild?

i've not fed my DP snails in AGES and i'm a bit worred about his teeth... he sucked up a bloodworm and spat half of it out, but couldn't bite the rest off...! is that a problem? and at night i see (a) small snail(s) on the glass. maybe he's lazy. or mayb they're the Malaysian something snails.

howabout a powerhead? they might like the current...?

my dwarf puffer does that... when he gets scared! très wierd.
