Snails

Ok so I broke up my cuttle and put one half on one side of my 55g and put the other half on the other now u said that it breaks down in the water so how good is it for my plants or will it hurt them... I'm sure the calcium in the water is good for the fish!

 

[maddybrat]

Yes calcium was the point of the cuttle bone so they grow to be big and strong!

The question was about plants not snails

 

[maddybrat]

You said it must be good for the fish too and that was me agreeing with you.

My concern is if it dissolves in the water, it'll raise my pH (which is already 7.8).

I never said anything about snails???

Oh ok sry thought u were talking about snails

 

[maddybrat]

Haha calcium is good for them too but I was just agreeing and saying it will keep your fish healthy and strong just like milk for people.

With apple snails (mystery snails).. being that they aren't fully aquatic, do you ever have troubles with them crawling out of the tank?

 

[maddybrat]

I saw a product on petco and it was a calcium supplement that you pour into the water? Anyone know if this is legit or if it can be harmful?

I was told by one of my friends that it raises ph by such a small fraction that ur liquid test can't even tell

My lid is really tight

I have a small hole they can get out of but I have had them for a week and they crawl next to the hole but never try to escape.. They can live for a while on land so I'm not to worried about it.. My cats are what I am worried about hah. But they hardly come into my room.

 

[maddybrat]

Really nice

?? Did I say something wrong or something or was that serious?

 

[pantherspawn]

I don't have a lid on my planted tank. The rams horn, bladder snails and assassins arsenal all aquatic so I don't worry about them crawling out. Also not sure if my assassins would be able to take down an apple snail or even a nerite that was nearly full grown.

I am saying nice because I didn't know that .... It was a good "really nice"comment

 

[maddybrat]

I have one rams horn and 8 apple snails. They are fun to watch

Oh, in that case, thanks!

 

[maddybrat]

These are some of my snails! I just took these. The first is a snail right next to the hole in the aquarium.
