Proud parent of 800 apple snails!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
800 is an even number.... if you get rid of any then get rid of 300 so you have a nice even 500.

it wouldnt take long before that 120 gets ovewhelmed. I brought home 2-4 pieces of apple snails to my pond when i was a kid and didnt take 4 mos for the population to hit hundreds. Its cool watching them at night though.. they come out of the water to lay eggs.

Umm, so in about the last week my apple snails have started to breed, at first I was a little excited and it was cool to watch the female lay the eggs but now 6 batches of eggs later its getting rediculous. But my question is, at what point are the offspring going to start breeding themselves, and if I cant sell/give them away of them before hand is their a way that i can encourage them NOT to mate?

Why?
 
I would be intrested in a few myself,PM me if you want to get ride of some.
 
hey all. i'm gooda's girlfriend. He's gone for a while and I'm taking care of all his fish and snails. I got rid of some of the apple snails to a LFS in Denver, but the drive isn't worth the fish credit they gave me. I've still got quite a few, they are about quater sized now. Let me know if anyone wants some. send me a pm and we'll figure out the details. I'm trying to get rid of them becuase of the bio overload in the tank now.

I'll take about fifty to a hundred for my lepard puffer, and my clown loaches. They all love snails.
