Getting Aquarium Snails

2K views 9 replies 5 participants last post by  MetalHead06351 
I just ask when I go into an LFS, "do you have any extra feeder snails?" The owner knows me, he'll throw in a dozen or more just to get rid of them. Usually small MTS. Just be careful, they lay eggs everywhere, and grow in your filters and lay even more eggs there.
If you really really want them, do what Laurel said, but ask for a filter pad, if you see some jelly on there, then it's probably eggs. The eggs get inside filter pads. And canisters. Sometimes if you're lucky, someone wants to get rid of their HOB that suddenly stops working every couple of days, there may just be snails in there.
