I have a 29 gal tank with 8 little lovelies in it. I have always thought snails were cute little things and would love to add one to my aquarium, but I'm afraid of mass reproduction! Any advice?
 
U could do mystery snail (unless u have boy and girl u will be ok)u could do nerite snails they need brackish water to populate I'm pretty sure
 
I was under the impression that snails don't need a mate to reproduce? Am I misinformed? :confused:

OH! I see! I just looked up mystery snails...I thought ALL snails were hermaphrodites. Thanks so much :)
 
Just thought I'd let you know that I got my daughter a golden mystery snail today on your advice. Thanks again :)
