Snails

[ganjero]

How big is the bio-load that snails like gold and black mystery snails produce (if any)?

What about snoflake eels?


Thanks

Supposedly not much on the bioload, but they make an amazing amount of poo.

Don't know about the eel question.

I think most eels get REALLY big and require some special care, so with size alone I would guess they add quite a bit to the bioload. Not sure about that particular eel though, have you been able to find any info. on it doing a google search or something like that?

Mystery snails and apple snails produce a bio-load similar to a fish of equivalent size and should be considered as such. Eeel I know little to nothing about.

The snails that are generally regarded as low bio-load are the small snails and even with them it is a matter of size not one of being cleaner pound for pound.
