Breeding snails

[fenton06]

Wow, thanks for the info Lupin! That's like info overload for me right now so I will try and gather it in over some time!

I would really like to get apple snails so I will PM msjinkzd for some info. I think i will get some java moss to have hang out around the top and I am looking for a sponge filter I can use with an airstone but am still somewhat confused on how that works so if there are any links that show some pictures on how it's done that would be awesome.

Thanks everyone!

Java moss can be left anywhere or attached with a string to a decor. They'll attach quickly after that.

This should help regarding the sponge filter.

Where as lupin yesterday, I wouldn't have had to type all that other stuff


Hope it didn't drive you off. Just keep it simple.

They're powered by an airstone inside. Bubbles rise inside the tube pushing water uot the top and drawing water in thru the sponge.

If you look around you can find DIY articles on making these.
