Thread: Snail problem?

  1. #1

    Default Snail problem?

    I'm a little worried that I may have a snail problem. For those of you who've never kept freshwater, maybe you're not familiar with these small quick growing, eagerly reproducing black snails that can overwhelm a freshwater tank. Well, I had them going on in this 10G I'm now using for saltwater, I pulled all the ones I could see out when I drained it and rinsed the gravel, but apparently there were 3 left, as they surfaced the first day of salt-use, and turned into shells full of white fluffy stuff. Anyhow, I have not added any shelled creatures other than hermits and turbos, but I have 3-4 small black snails, similar to those that are in fresh setups, but move faster, and have an extended snout. Are these a sw infestation, or did my old one adapt? :evil:

    You'd be lucky if they did go nuts because you could sell them. Don't worry.

    They won't be like rabbits, unfortunately.
