    UV lights have their place, but I haven't used for at least 11 years. My guess is that most of members of this forum do not use a UV light.

    And it not the expense of the UV lights that keeps me from using one, it is that most of the uses of UV, like assisting with clearly cloudy water, can also be achieved inexpensively and easily without UV.

    This is the last thing I have not tried, besides some meds, but I can't find them and I can not order online

    None of the very inexpensive UV solutions is effective for use in aquariums. Sunlight won't hurt your sick guppy but it is only one part of a good quality environment.

    Can I quarantine in sunlight? Will that help at all? Sorry I just can not afford a good uv cause I'm 11

    Awesome, sounds like you have a local market then! I have not seen the blue ones here, but the red ones are everywhere. One more tip--you should probably separate the colors, or they may cross breed and you will get brown or something. 

    Thanks, I will do that, my fish store is so cool, it has all fish I know of, bit they treat the bettas worse than petco

    I would test your kh, but yes--you should still add a little so that they don't exhaust their supply--hopefully you will have MANY snails in your tank and you want them to grow fast. Once you see shell pitting it is too late. It is mostly cosmetic, but it will lower the value of your snails.

    I have red ones, they hitch hiked in on a plant at some point. They will probably sell better, but your local market will determine the price. I see a person on my local craigslist offering them by the cupful, as puffer food, so do check around to see if they are already a flooded market.

    My LFS has them 4$ each, I am not selling them for that much

    As I'm a total newb at any of this I have to ask, is it possible to use oyster shells like that which is given to chickens for calcium? 

    I have apparently inadvertently begun breading mystery snails. (At least I think that is what they are) and was wondering about their shell health.

    Yeah that's fine
