BAT Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I ordered a mystery snail online. When it arrives do I need to quarantine before adding to my planted 10g with betta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettD Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 They can host a few of the parasites and other diseases. So technically I think the advice would be to yes, always quarantine. But in all honesty I don't think most people do, as transmission from snail to fish is uncommon. Technically I would guess an ich cyst could hang out in the shell. If you have a quarantine tank, there's no harm in sticking the snail in there for at least as long as it takes for the ich life cycle to break.
