How do you acclimate snails?

[cinnastix911]

I jut bought 2 gold bridgesii (I think thats the spelling...) apple snails and I was just curious how people add them to their tank- I know doing it the same as fish is fine but I was just curious if people had any different methods.

I do them just like fishies!

I just gradually add tank water into the plastic the snails come in, just like I do with fish.

They'll probably be much hardier to water changes, but yeah...I'd treat them just like a fish as well.

Best way is to treat them like fish, slowly adding in tank water over the course of an hour or so. But they can shell up and acclimate themselves even in dropped into different water conditions, its just easier on them if you help during the process.
