I just figured they would be fine with eating cucumbers and algae wafers. What else do I need to do for them?
Snail Only Tank

The babies will normally eat whatever the adults eat. They're disappearing? What else is in the tank?
you supplement calcium by putting cuttlebone (like for birds) in the tank with them. The rams eggs take about a week IME, but I only notice the ones laid on the glass. The guppy shouldnt be eating snail babies, especially mystery since they come out larger than say ramshorns
As far as cuttlebone I can just go to the bird aisle and I'll see the cuttlebone and just get it that way and put it in the tank? or is there a different way?
yep thats it, I just broke it in half and put it in the tank. Its gonna float for a few days but it will sink eventually and give snails extra calcium (used to build hard/full shells)
Awesome, that sounds about right. It's been over a week since they came in and they've been dropping eggs since day 1 (hell one just laid eggs on one of the mystery snails shells LMFAO). Thanks AA!
Edit: I had planned on selling extras. Hope you don't get angry with me if I do XD

Lol yea I sent mature ones so they will pop out babies like no other! And nope no problem from me with you selling them, if you dont sell them or feed them to something you will certainly be overrun! I sell on local CL, ebay, and aquabid. Just shipped out 40 of them from ebay today right before I left UCF for the summer. If you need advice on packing them pm me, its simple but doing it the first time deff makes you nervous
Haha you know me man! I am nervous as all get out about shipping for the first time. I'll get at you about it when the times comes ^^
Looks like I'll be heading to a LFS tomorrow than. Thanks for the info. That and I guess I'll just drop my water level.
What about the idea of a filterless tank with snails and just do w/c's?
