Assassin Snail Ethics - What To Do With Unwanted Snails?

[Sorg67]

I have a tank that has nothing but Assassin Snails and plants. I want to shut it down. I feel bad about killing all the Assassin Snails. I have given Assassin Snails to my LFS in the past. But it seems a bit excessive to waist an hour and a half of my time to run a few dozen snails up to a fish store.

Aquabid. Why give them away when you can sell them. I can tell you how to ship them if you decide to go that route. It's way easier than shipping fish.

Can they live in the wild where you are?

The other day, I released some american crayfish in a river. They outcompeted all native crayfish. Ah well.... live and learn.

I think they do live here, but they may be an invasive species. It is illegal to release anything from a fish tank into the wild here. Even if it is a native species, you are not allowed to release it since it may have acquired a disease in captivity.
