Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi everyone,
Been a while since I've posted on here. I recently aquired some common pond snails from a coworker and wanted to attempt (AGAIN!) at breeding them for my dwarf puffer as food. I have had a horrible time at breeding snails over the past 2 years. I know, crazy, but true.
Anyway I do not chance disease/parasites in my tanks, especially with a puffer which is prone to IP's. So can I be sure that if QT for a month without fish present the snails should be free of any potentially harmful bugs for the puffer?
Most parasites without a higher-order host do not survive long periods and so I'm hoping this is all I need to do to get a steady food source that is clean of disease.
Thanks.
