    Yes i know my snails are on the BL, after the one dropped off all those eggs,and they popped out, my tank has no plants in, as they chow it all.

    I dont want to take them back to the LFS, as they will only sell them again, and make even more money, so if anyone wants a few, please let me know, i have about 50+, some are still small, and some are the size of a R5.

    i dont just want to take them out and let them peg,as its not the right thing to do.

    Thanks

    If you have a breeding setup without any substrate in the tanks they work perfectly for keeping the tanks free of algae and any leftover food.

    OT.
    Please let anyone show me that the Apple snail is on the BL.
    IT IS NOT!!!

    Apple snails are tropical and sub-tropical freshwater snails from the family Ampullariidae (sometimes referred to
    as Pilidae). The Ampullariidae are
    divided in several genera. The generaAsolene, Felipponea, Marisa,
    and Pomacea are the New World genera (South
    America, Central America, the West Indies and the Southern U.S.A.), while the
    genera Afropomus, Lanistes and Saulea
    are found in Africa. The genus Pila is native
    in both Africa and Asia.

    So happy breeding.
