You can also hold the snail in a pair of tongs with the opening pointing up the length of the tongs so they will have to break the shell to get at its meat.

Correct for fresh and salt the charts are different, and yes most of us are diligent about our 50% changes on our FW tanks. For salt its usually a monthly for me but depends on the tank .

I had the same thing with a peice of pets mart mopani. Boiled it like 3 times didn't go away. Just started over with wood from a good source. But just like you said no effect to the fish or parameters.

I don't think there I a brackish product available. The bacteria in the safe start freshwater is stable at 1.0 and bio spria is stable at 1.025

I'll crop up some pics of my other 3 but a fairly recent pic of my 6.5 is in the thread. Welch's 30g long.

Gorgeous fahaka you have there!
