Go to the lfs they usually sell them. Get 100 or so and put them in a tote with a filter in a warm spot and feed them. You'll need to change the water too. I've bred them for a couple years.
Oh I breed ramshorns, bladder or pond snails, and giant ramshorns. Try to not mix the different types as they will eat each other's eggs.
the white bone thing is cuttle fish bone to help add calcium to their diet allowing the snails to develop their shell as they grow...
as for feeding, veggies, flakes or any fish food can normally be fed without too much problem...
Cuttle bone helps with their shells. Kale, sweet potato, algae chips, random fish food. Random fish food works great to build population. I feed better stuff when I'm going to feed them to something like morning of.
Used to have a colony until the collection of tanks grew I didn't need to have a snail only tank.
+1 on not keeping rams horns, they will take over the colony and grow to a point our Figure 8 couldn't eat them.
Also +1 on the cuttle bone, hit the bird isle at the local pet store for extra cheep ones.

Lol.
Didn't realize you replied the same thing I did. I'm at work and was replying but got busy and didn't finish it.
As for ramshorn snails they do multiply pretty quick but my puffer would eat those no problem but liked the pond snails better. Easier to eat.
