AndreaW Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 On 3/30/2022 at 5:10 PM, xXInkedPhoenixX said: You are right @AndreaW they do need a break. Mine did have shell damage from it and I had 3 females and 1 male. Separating them is fine too, just know every time they are moved the shells react to water parameter changes. Kind of like the rings of a tree. Not always a bad thing just something to look for. I don't have another tank I can move one to but maybe I can set up an enclosed breeder box that I can switch one or the other to to give them a break. How long a break do you think I should give her? Maybe I will need to set up a small temp tank from this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 @AndreaW a breeder box is not the best for then as there is no biofilm or algae for them to eat. A tank divider can partly work and the boys have to work to get over it unless it is close enough to the lid so they can’t get over it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh boy, then I'm going to have to set up another tank or re-home one then. I didn't realize what I was getting into when I bought them. I thought having two would be nice so they could have a friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 @AndreaW Breeder boxes aren't the worst idea if you put it to work now and put her or him in there later they'll have the biofilm tho they make short work of it depending on size and would have to be cleaned often as MysterySnails are piggies.. You generally have to supplement their food anyway. Just means the breeder is always in operation. I've kept I'll Snails in breeders with success as far as being able to get them to eat and monitoring them. Tank dividers aren't a bad idea either and wouldn't be expensive generally as @Guppysnailpoints out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Guppysnail taught the rest of us how to put a plant weight on the stringbean shell Itake out the little beans as they quicly foul the water) for the snails and shrimp, and her adorable plecos, to munch on. Makes life so much easier! I discovered I accidentally missed some snails and babies who did an excellent job hiding in plants (from a trim 2 weeks ago) and I put everyone in a breeder box with some plants for them to clean to observe in my bedside tank. The saved MTS were just cleaning the ramshorn, lol You can see tiny fry, as well! [ @Zenzoor @Streetwise the Forum keeps randomly reorienting my pictures today... I have never experienced this before] 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes steamed green beans opened so they can get the meat if the bean. The beans inside removed. It’s everyone’s favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught him as he was getting out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatyourpeas Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Clementine “had” to come home with me today. It is dangerous when the LFS is almost next door to the grocery store. Needless to say, the shopping list got slightly edited and a Japanese trapdoor snail snuck in… Getting ready for bed in her new tank: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 @eatyourpeasClementine is absolutely beautiful 🥰 hmmm I thought all JTS had jade green shells.

Clementine was the one that kept flirting, so she was the chosen one. 😍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
