Something I think we should consider before adding these guys to our tanks.

Interesting reading, but to me it appears that Flukes are a freshwater problem.

It does mention FW in a couple of the discriptions,but the snails are SW snails.So I dont realy know.Couldn't find alot about the snails,maybe they spend time in both SW and FW? Just wanted to point out a potential problem so ppl can take a closer look.

Thanks Will.
A little note to all with snails or small inverts in the sump.
Put a strainer on your intake tube from sump back to tankas small snails like to see if they are stronger than the impeller fins, guess what they are
Thanks to all those that got snails, and if you have not gotten yours yet the are being delivered to you Sunday. Back to fixin my pump. LOL
By the way, must have 400 eggs from the snails all over the glass.
Mark

Mark

The eggs wont ever develop into anthing because they need specialized food, but they will become good food for your tank which is a plus.

Exactly.. but as you said, it's a plus anyhow.
Mark dropped my snails off yesterday, they seem very hardy, and pretty active. They immidiatley began to dig themselves in the sand, and two others went for the glass. I had some diatmons on the sand before bed, and no ditamons on the sand this morning.
