Ramshorn snail question
I've read a few different articles where it was said that Ramshorn snails can carry parasites. I bought some ramshorn snails and setup a tank for them so that I can start breeding them but, in the meantime, how can I ensure that the ramshorn snails that I have are free of parasites? It is my understanding that many of the medications to treat parasites will kill snails.

Re: Ramshorn snail question
Hey Pufferpunk, could you elaborate more on how to QT snails and clams? I mean, when you quarantine them, do you just feed and observe them and if they live past the 30 days, they're good? I know a lot of inverts are very sensitive to many meds so, I'm assuming that treating an invert tank with meds would be crazy.
