    Default Turbo Snails

    I want to to if it would be OK to add another turbo snail to my 10 gallon, I have one in there now that is about 1.5 inches wide and I had 2 in there but my stupid(but loveable) hermit ate the smaller one(but has left this one alone :? ) I just like these snails and would like to add 1 or 2 more.

    when i had my 10 gallon set up i got 2 of them from tim when i first got it started. yeah it took me all of 2 weeks to hate them and got rid of them pretty soon after cuz they kept knockin all my rock work over and whatnot. they did do a pretty good job of eating any algae that was growing on the glass though(it was kinda kool to see the little trail of teeth marks after them).

    but to answer the question, if they arent being butts and knockin everything over and you like them i wouldnt see any problems with adding one or two more. its not like theyll run out of food(algae's prenty plentiful in all of our tanks)

    hope it helps, steve

    He does tend to move stuff around but I don't mind, its like coming home to a tank that has been rearrangeg and looks "new" I don't know how to explain it, but I like it. I like the teeth marks too, I like to watch them eat the algae off the glass and see their mouth as they eat.
