Snail Types
What type of snails do you feed dwarf puffers?
Some call it a product of a mis-spent youth, I call it Rock n Roll !

This gave me a good laugh! (And is still so accurate!)Boxermom wrote:Any snail that is tiny and is not an Malaysian Trumpet snail (they look like pointy ice cream cones).
BTW, I like your sig! My email sig is similar (although the langauge is a bit more archaic):
"I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it."

Thanks. 
I chose it after experiencing a thread on another forum (which has led to me getting banned for 30 days 
) where I spoke out, rather politely I thought, against someone recommending to a new person that they buy feeder guppies from the store, cycle the tank with them, then return them to the store. 'They're just going to be oscar food anyway so who cares if they are used for cycling' was his opinion. I said that even those of us who occasionally use feeders try to do our best to treat them as humanely as possible beforehand. He kept saying basically that cycling with "dry ammonia and testing numerous times a day" was a pain and too time consuming for anyone, and that cycling with store-bought shrimp doesn't work. I said it does if the person doing it has half a brain and has been instructed on how to do it.
