WTB: Common Pond Snails - Aquarium Advice

EdgarMedina1010 · 02-05-2007, 11:22 PM

I want to start breeding these for my puffers, since Im only feeding them ramshorn snails, and I know that common pond snails reproduce faster and are much hardy....If any one has some for sale, or free (one can hope

) Let me know....

Check your local pet megastores. They often have tanks infested with them and will gladly let you take some away.

Pets Unlimited here nearly always has a guy picking pond snails out of the tanks and throwing them in the garbage.
