Assassin Snails wanted

Crob5965 · 11-03-2012, 07:22 PM

Hi I have a 55 gal Planted that has a snail problem I have it under control by plucking them out of the tank but would like a couple of assassins in there so that I can keep the population under control

anyone out there have any Assassin snails that they are willing to part with I am willing to pay for them but I don't really want to buy the $20 for 10 I see online I just want 3-4 but the shipping is so expensive

Thanks in advance

Ask someone that works there, they are stategically placed around the tanks to eat pest snails

Thanks
I'll swing by there tomorrow and ask
I Think I have the snail problem under control right now but I wouldn't mind putting some in my 55 just to be on the safe side. I go away a lot and the wife refuses to put her hands in my tank to scoop them out
