Glad to hear the snails are working out, they seem to be doing a good job in my tank too. I thinkI need to get more fish as I have too many snail eggs, it's like a buffet. LOL
Thanks guys,
Mark

just wondering if anyone had an update as to the effectiveness of these snails? I did hear that they like cooler waters, how as the survival of them been so far, what is the tank temp? Are they eating good amounts of algae/stirring the sand?

I've had 20 for about a month now.. I still have all 20, they laid eggs which gotten eaten, which is good for protein, and they are always active in my sand and glass. Not a single death! a must have
