I was never successfull with snails ... I had Nerites and they all died! Just recently I bought some plants and to my delight they came with Bladder snails. They are breeding like crazy. They are great pets (NOT pests) and comical to watch. There are a few babies too so I hope they will survive. I don't have heaters so the temp. is quite low. Thank you for your video, very interesting.

I did not know that there were snails for aquarium, I thought people only buy animals like crabs or fishes, to me, the most interesting one was the Rabbit Snail.

You need to have balance in the aquarium, simulate the natural environment for the animals to make them cormfortable, and snails are a good way to keep your aquarium clean and natural.

Hi Vicky. It’s possible but not recommended as you can overpopulate your tank. Usually I tell folks to stick with Nerites. Mystery snails are good for goldfish tanks

I had a ton of MTS that started from just a couple on accident when buying fish. I had a couple zebra loaches already in the tank but until I changed to a 40 gallon they never put a big dent in the population of trumpet snails. Now all my snails are dead and sadly the loaches got sick too. They were covered in like a white foam overnight and had died. I got a small UV light for my filter for $14 off Amazon so hopefully it will kill off all that kind of stuff plus it made my water crystal clear

@quki3 Жыл бұрын

Do you know what the white foam was called ..( that killed loaches)? Did the white foam kill snails, too.. and did the loaches become infected by eating snails? Sorry- I have a million and one mystery snails after buying 3 6 months ago and I just purchased 4 baby yo-yo loaches - as my fish shop said they would eat baby snails..? I hope.

@byrguy1295 Жыл бұрын

@@quki3 I used ick medicine because it was the only thing I had and one zebra loach lived and none of the other fish in the tank got sick at all. I heard a lot of bottom feeders get sick more often which I think maybe true, I've lost a fare number of bottom dwellers :( I had 3 yoyo loaches I ended up trading in after a couple years. They got like 6 inches long in my 20 gallon and started bullying other fish a bit. The store didnt bother to tell me they got that big and are semi aggressive..

@AquariumStoreDepot 8 ай бұрын

It’s not a problem for your snail to eat the plant, however it’s likely not good for the plant getting eaten. It would be best to remove the plant.

I hate most snails, they're invasive, reproduce much faster than rabbits and cause a lot of work, to the point that it makes one think "this is not a hobby....it's a war"! The hobby is a great one but you must be inclined not to think you can sit on your duff and enjoy the scenery! It won't work that way...SO you must figure out the easiest way to do EVERYTHING! I have a 20 g. low tank, I use filtered and washed non-clumping cat littler from Walmarts($4.97 for 20 lbs.) and it's working great. I have 4 Chopstick Snails in there that I seldom ever see. They burrow and have ONLY 1 or 2 offspring a year and they keep the substrate clean and loose while NOT bothering any of my plants, and I have a good number and variety of plants. I also have 2 Nerite snails that somehow keep that whole thing free of algae, and of course they have the help of about 20 cherry shrimp. This small tank is for my nano fish ( 10 Galaxy rasboras, ten small stripped rasboras and ten pigmy cats) and my cleanup crew is doing a great job so I only have to clean this tank about once a year and then lightly. This cat litter is the best thing I've used so far as a substrate. PS: I would suggest that one not purchase these snails from anywhere in Arizona, but know that if you do, you do so at your own risk....nuff said!!
