8 “eight” Columbian Giant Ramshorn Snail. Mollusk, Tank Raised, they Have Teeth!

Description

If temperatures in your state is below 55 degrees F, this sale may have to be canceled, for the snails. They are tropical.
The snail will eat a healthy plant IF you do not feed them “what they consider adequate”, the snails WILL reduce dead fish they may find, I have never seen them attack a fish. Tank mates should be the smaller fish, and shrimp, larger aggressive fish will nip, (rip off and eat) the eye sockets and antenna. Specifically do not house with mosquito fish, mollies, or ANY cichlids, smaller one will nip until they kill them, larger ones will outright consume them.
The creature is listed as a beginner category as they will thrive on fish foods, and occasional boiled string beans . I personally recommend a heater, temperature reading device, a fair quality light, and a filter system, being either a hang on or in tank bio sponge type. An Air stone, and air pump, minimum of 1 gallon, and preferably larger. Most of my group reach 2+ inches. The snails which are sent out are pea sized to half done sized.
As a suggestion, boil up ( or microwave 5 canned string beans, (salt free, or low sodium) and place in front of them (in tank on arrival) crush slightly to add to the ease of attack!
These snails WILL eliminate bladder snails, and eat other snail eggs (flats of jelly on glass/rocks/plants/wood.
No PO BOX orders…. NO PMB (postal mail boxes)
The delivery address must be where the LIVE creatures can be accepted by the patron, business address, if used is the problem of the ordering patron, a simple fix is to change your address”
Some states may limit shipping but f this tropical snail, most northern (frost zones) states, do allow them. Shipping may be delayed to investigate sales to states with such restrictions, usually a permit could be had, as such proof of having that permit is required.
Doa policy is you must show dead snail in original container within 2hrs of delivery.
Only addresses of which deliveries can be had are acceptable, if the order is not for a business with which deliveries are not acceptable during normal delivery times, we at crayfish to go are not accepting the order.
On the topic of stocking, and numbers of snails that can be kept:
“The stocking levels are actually quite high as they also have a lung, and will frequently hit the surface for free air. For the sake of water quality the larger the better. It’s a matter of your taste, if you feed them ample amounts of food you will discover they will produce copious amounts of waste, which could be offset by aquaponics, or denitrification units.
Due to the teeth that these creatures have they circumvent what most snails stop at, that being healthy plants. They will consume a healthy plant if they decide it’s tasty
Which again brings up tank size, and stocking levels. A ten gallon tank could hold up to 30, but that tank would be at the very edge of environmental capacity. A 20 with 30 would be easier to filter and continue to keep a good water quality.
A point of interest is that guppies appear to be friendly small fish to this snail, while mosquito fish will attack and eat the feelers, antenna of the snail, which will grow back, if not attacked continuously.
I hope this helps in your decision making.”
