Snail Farming

I turned my 2.5 gallon acrylic tank into a ramshorn snail farm. I took all the snails I caught in my betta tank and put them in there with a cuttle bone, a mini-heater, and a sponge filter. I feed them an algae tab every few days, plus some blanched vegetables (lettuce and cucumber).

After a few weeks, I started seeing eggs on the glass. This week, the first batch started hatching.

In my 2.5 gallon snail farm

I originally wanted them for puffer food. But even if I don't get a puffer, I'm enjoying this. Maybe I'll put an add on craigslist and give some away.

 

Oops . . . not sure why that first pic showed up twice.

 

Yup they will keep going and going. I'm currently doing the same thing with 30 gallon while I cycle it

 

Idk if you've already heard of this but people will ship em' in plastic bottles, so I would save up!

 

Yes easy to ship snails

 

Fabulous Aquarium!
