Ok well the handful of snails I found in my filter turned into a bazillion. .. I need them to die. I have at least 4 large tanks that need to be cleansed. Best way I read is assassin snails.

How many do I need and how can I get them from a club member for cheaper than 6 bucks each?

Thanks in advance.

If you find a good source i could use some too.. im trying my blue botia in the infested tank now. Not sure how efective its been cause the snails and the botia hide.. plus my girlfriend netted alot out. We also read about people who would weight a zuchinni or something down and wait till alot hop on board and then remove it. Not sure what the most effective method is.

I'm out, usually I got enough to hook you up


Lol my clown labs, mbuna ohhh and peacocks love them as snacks it's so weird...
They sift them out of the sand-natural behavior I know for the peacocks, but the mbuna????

Check with Rachel. She usually has them at reasonable prices. Some club members have extras usually, but you sound like you need quite a few. I'd say you need about 10 for a large tank.

I was told 10 by the guy at pet land as well. I may need a few more for the other tanks that the infestation will likely move to.

You may get lucky and find that the assassins mails reproduce in your first tank, and then you can move the babies to another tank. In my experience, however, it is pretty random as to whether the assassins reproduce in a particular tank.

I've got a pile of assassin snails. Don't ship, but can deliver to either cookout or next meeting.

Sold! I will take what ever I can get!

Pm me with pricing. I will grab some for Matt as well if he needs them. Where are you located I would drive to you if you're not to far.

Thanks bro. Only if you can spare some. I would be happy with whatever. We only have them in Kierstens african tank right now (75g)
