Cal. Visit your Lfs and offer to remove pest snails for them, then once you have a bag full put a couple of quid in their Xmas fund and they will welcome you back anytime. Keep them in a bucket till you are ready to feed
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Help with breeding a variety of puffer food
Do you have anything in the buckets as far as filter, heater, etc.?JRC3 wrote:Snail breeding for me has been a pain. I've tried dedicated 10 and 15g tanks and once snails get established they produce no more. I've started to use 5g buckets starting with a handful of mature snails and after a week or so of egg laying, I remove the adults and let the eggs hatch and grow...Rotating between two 5g buckets.
I have a 5 gallon set up with a filter, gravel, few fake plants, and just picked up a heater for it today. I was originally going to use it for snail but am not thinking I will use it for the shrimp now. I was talking to my mom about all I was doing and she happened to mention having a small tank there (like 1-3 gallons, not sure yet) that I can have. So I'm leaning towards using that for snails.
And what kind of snails are you breeding?
