mystery snails pending...

Hi! As it is fall and many people may be cleaning their ponds and tossing extra plants I thought now would be a good time to ask if anyone has extra water iris's? or mini cattail? Thanks! I still have some extra mts if you want to trade those for them. :)

still snails :)

The goldfish ate some of them. I haven't seen a clutch in... maybe a couple months. (And I accidentally squished one, oops!) I might just have one sex left.. will just have to watch I guess. Though I did just see two of them tangoing before I came in lol. Hope u get some snails! I luv that...

snails :)

Could a mod move this to Freshwater Illness and Disease, please? I think at this point it fits over there better. (Not that ya'll havent' been helpful! :) Thanks! )

Thanks ok

oh yeah that's what they looked liked! Darn I could have had escargot for the fish. Next year I won't tear them up then. I doubt there are any or many snails that I didn't add, it's only about 35-40g pond and it's covered with mesh screening. (The squirrels have been jumping on it and dented...

Hi, would you please tell me how you wrap mystery snails (mine are gofball size) for shipping? There a lot bigger than other snails I've shipped before.. If you have more of these next spring maybe I can get some from you, your's look much prettier than the ones at the store. :)

what do mystery snail clutches look like? there were a bunch of weird pinky foamish things above the waterline of the pond, but I just figured they were some wierd bug eggs. Were they snails eggs?

How does one 'sex' mystery snails? I know I've got at least 2 in the pond, purple I believe, might have 1 or 2 ivory (kinda pink) ones. I think I can send them for less than $10 priority (I'm checking some other threads to make sure the way I'm thinking of wrapping them is correct, they have...

I've mailed the first box of snails (so now I have a much better idea of some things lol). A small flat rate box gets about 100 snails (about a tablespoon, seriously, I counted). To send at the flat rate priority this amount will be $8 to send first class, same amount, $6.50...

I recently read something about using salt for freshwater velvet, but first it said something along the lines of 2 tablespoons per gallon, and further on in the article it said 1 tbls per gallon - and it was written by the same person. :/ IF, either of those are even correct, it doesn't say...

Unfortunately I can't get anything right now, they're trying to do away with my department at work and I'm down to roughly 3hours every other week, gah! I haven't been able to find anyting else around here yet. Everyone's letting people go. :P Sorry for the rant. :)

do u think they'd have something for an air pump there too?

ebo jagers? is that a brand? on occassion they would get a little fuzz, not often just maybe 2 or 3? times. they would also, or just seem kind of legarthy and sadish, and they just seemed to feel better when the heat was up more. I would not say a lot of disease, no. Generally Melafix and...

well I can't keep the heat up, no heater. how long can I keep it dark before the plants suffer? I just added some new ones and transplanted some from other tanks, I'm afraid the new ones might die (argh!). Will the velvet 'starve' without the light? (and how long would that take?)

Most snails will be less than 1 cm, so I should be able to get a bunch in a bag. Going with small flat rate boxes, delivery confirmation, (ask specifically for insurance or sig confirmation if you want those - cost extra.) Will include small amount of plant for them to hang on to. (Probably...

thank you.
