MT snails and freezing temps!!

HI all! The other week I ordered some MTS (Malaysian trumpet snails) from amazon. I know that these things are super hardy which is why I even tried it. The temp where I live is currently bouncing around but mostly stays at freezing or below. I expected these guys to come in a box with a couple heat packs and even if it had gotten a bit chilly these snails are tough. Anyway they ended up coming in what is literally just their bag wrapped in the amazon wrapping paper with a sticker on it, no heat pack, no isolation. It’s hard to tell how well they are I have them floating in warm water of the tank they will go in, what are the chances they did well? I mean the best way to know is after I add them see if they move but can they hibernate or something to get through things like that? Thanks

P.S. yes I am aware it probably wasn’t smart to order these guys now but like I said I know they are hardy and I didn’t think they wouldn’t have a heat pack.

 

Personally these are tropical snails and I think its irresponsible to send anything at 0c this time of year unless they can take it, I'd have thought temp below 50f is to cold, I hope they pull thtough

 

They have been found in the wild here but only where the water is warmed by industrial processes.

 

The snails are fine, I just put them in a plate and they are moving around fine, however so are all the little bugs that came with them. Here is my question now, I currently have two plates, one hold the original water with the snails and the bugs, and one holds some clean water and I am moving snails to the clean water with tweasers however it appears some bugs are going with them. Is there anyway to for sure kill the bugs but not the snails. I have heard these guys can survive a bleach dip?

EDIT: Or some kind of medication like cupermine?

 

Big no no on any meds the only thing I'd do it give them a rub down with a soft tooth brush or wipe in a towel then rinse in Aquarium water. If they've come from a stockists and not the wild then I can't see anything that can be harmful,and anything small will get eaten by fish

I think my current plan is this:

Keep switching them from plate to plate to try and minimalist any bugs from going with them. After a few times of doing this, take each individual snail and rinse it under like warm water them set they on a dry play for maybe 2 mins, then set them again in clean, freshwater. Let them sit in that plate for a while then inspect again and see if there are any bugs, then before adding them rub them down with a towel. I got them from a “discount” supplier with no reviews so I was taking a risk, so I don’t know if they are wild caught or captive raised.

 

Are they going in a tank on their own or quarantine,

 

They are going in a breeding bin with no other fish

 

Then I wouldn't worry to much just do the best you can the chances are you won't remove them all and if they were bad for the snail they'd already have problems, s photo of the bug may give us and idea

 

I can barely see the bug so I doubt the camera will see it. Thanks for the help, I have almost all the snails as clean as they will get.

 

I think you'll find they are either seed shrimp or copeapods they are the most common at that size
