Hi all,
I found a couple freshwater snails by brackish water by my house. Is it okay to put them in my freshwater aquarium? I have 1 angel fish and 7 mollies in a 29 gallon.

Thanks:D






p.s. Please tell me if you can or can't see the picture I posted :thanks:
 
First There is no photo at the post. Second, It is not good idea to put a wild snail into tank because they probably carry parasites. These parasites also dangerous for human. While I was at Africa, people were talking about a parasite that passes to humans from freshwater snails.
 
OH:hide: what type of snail was that? was it small? one of the ones I found was a mm long and the other one was slightly smaller and they are both brown. Here are the pictures, sorry they are kind of fuzzy.
