Quarantine snails from the Gulf

[pearsont74]

I picked up a few nice snails this weekend and put them in some freshly made RO/DI salt water mix...in a quarantine tank...how long before I can move them to my main?
Ill reseach and find out what type they are....

They still alive?

 

[pearsont74]

of course....
I first washed/flushed them with the RO-DI water them put them in the quarantine tank with fresh new salt water made with RO-DI water
I had them in quarantine for about 5 days and introduced them last nite....They are moving around and seem to be good.
I know one of them is a sand shifting conch and there is one that looks alot like a queen conch, the other im not sure....its bigger then i thought and i may put him back in the gulf.

You do not need to QT snails...

 

[pearsont74]

well...i did this mainly cause of the red tide that has passed thru this area...it supposed to be gone but didnt want to risk it if u know what i mean

 

[i have crabs]

red tide?

 

[pearsont74]

yes red tide...its a allegy bloom and it releases a toxin in the water the makes fish and other things sufficate...
google red tide and it will tell you all you want to know
but this and live rock = dead bad rock....so please be patient with liverock.com....id hate to be them right now
