Apple snail help!!!

yes he will also enjoy it

 

Thanks Ace,, just a small of carrot or cucumber ... how long must i leave it in before taking it out.

 

I guess I am not the only one with the issues then

 

I think apple snails are very kewl...

 

If you can't find a snail trap, then just use a lettuce leaf.
Place it in the tank with a rock on it, wait no more than 24hrs, then remove the leaf with the snails on it. You'll have to rinse and repeat as they don't all come to the lettuce (well depends on the snail and how hungry it is I suppose)

We used this method recently to remove 100s of ramshorn snails from the small tank. There are still a few snails left, but we'll take them out eventually.

 

ok again and the plec he is going to munch it...

 

He probably will, but I don't think he'll be able to eat the entire thing before you can get the snails out. Alternatively, place some cucumber in the tank for him and hope the snails go for the lettuce.

 

lol this should work I hope

 

lol hope so too... look, if there aren't a lot of snails and you aren't over feeding, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with them.

Let us know how it goes

 

I will do the problem is they are getting larger and the poor skunk loach, can keep up lol

 

i have 2 apples and i love em to bits they one of the coolest members of my display. mine also laid eggs, bout 6 clutches which never hatched, not sure if im happy or sad bout that. i feed mine on lettuce which iv poured a kettle of boiling water over to soften it. i would like to try the sosatie thing though, should i also boil the veggies before i put it in the tank? have any of you seen the colours avilable over seas? its like gaa gimme lol i like the purple and blue versions

 

I tried a unboiled peace of carrot last night and they were not interested .. will try lettuce and see

 

I will do the lettuce tonight...

 

just leave the carrot in there. They hollow it out from the middle :blink1:

 

Ok will it be ok to leave it there for a couple of days
and should i boil it or just put it in raw

 

Raw is fine. I take mine out after a week or so. Just before it's breaking apart.

 

Ok will put it in tonight when i get home Thanks Ace

 

iv tried the carrot thing as well but its my pleco thats chowing that lol. pour boiling water over the lettuce before you feed it and you'll find they shuld eat it mine ate a whole leaf last nite

 

They ate the carrot thanks Ace
