I read several places that breeding pond snails was very easy low maint. and it is. I started with a bag of snails from petsmart, put a small plastic plant in a disposable quart container full of room temp tap water and voila... eggs growing everywhere. Until the eggs start developing I add snails as needed (because puffers love them) from petsmart again. I drop in an algae tab once a week for food. NOW THE QUESTION.... is anyone else doing this in an unfiltered container, and what to do about the rancid stench this creates? There's got to be a better way. I assume people will tell me to use my old 5gal tank with a filter etc. But I already got 2 aquariums sucking electricity from the wall all day, Im not doing that for pond roaches. Any suggestions? I do have a lid with air slits cut into it, but when you take it off... holy stink.
