Breeding Snails?
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:24 am
Anyone here had much success breeding Snails?
I'm just planning ahead at the moment. We're currently mid cycle on our tank in preparation for a couple of GSPs and I'm thinking about setting up another smaller tank for breeding Snails to feed them.
I've read the article in the library so I'm just looking for a bit more info from people with experiance.
What's the minimum and ideal size tank?
Which species are best to breed?
Temps? And light hours?
What plants and other things should I have in the tank?
Im torn between keeping it very simple for breeding Snails alone and adding a few species of fish to make it a bit more interesting to look at. I guess it depends what size tank I can get away with. If I can do something fairly small that I can hide away then I'll go just Snails. If I have to get somerhing big and expensive then I might look to add other fish.
Thanks
