I was selling off the extras on ebay for a while. That's why I was breeding in 3 tanks. But, it just got out of control. Now I've decided to just keep a 10g snail tank for food. The assassin's will clean up the betta tank and the dojo loaches should clear up the community tank (i hope)Nuclear_Glitter wrote:Since you already got something to eat them I'm sure this is out of the question but if your snail population grows too much you could always sell them.

Re: Snail eaters
No- one in the uk seems to want them lol. It wasn't out of control but quite easily could have gotten bad lol watched him for a hour this morning he not quite as hungry now but I bet he will be back on it later ha ha
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Snail eaters
I was just watching my new assassin snails ... I watched one creep up behind a ramshorn. I figured I would see that long nose go into the shell and see a shell drop away, but it looks like he just sniffed the ram and went aroundbertie 83 wrote:No- one in the uk seems to want them lol.

Or, were you talking about dojo loaches? I still haven't seen them eat any snails. But, I do see them digging a lot. I crushed a couple MTS with pliers last night to see if the loaches were interested. They swam right past it, but someone ate them. just a few shell fragments this morning.
