NEW BABY SNAIL VID: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aec7g3P1_o4.html 🐌FACTS 🐌 I have SEVERAL other tank/snail vids! 🐌 I really hope you all are having fun with these tank videos! I am! Lol 🐌 I’m still removing snails from my 10g and there aren’t many I can see at all! 🐌 my 10g is still “compromised” vid to come :( 🐌 PLEASE tell me some other videos you all would be interested in, I have a list km working on now & would love more requests!
I think you should sell some of the snails or give some of the snails to some pet stores.Also where do you find the snails at the pet stores?Every time I go to the pet store and looking at the fish section I don’t see any snails.
So, you ended up with a pest animal you didn’t want but still purchased the ideal setup to care for them properly. Meanwhile some people buy animals they do want and... don’t? You’re the best!
I use to own some aquarium snails. Anyways growing up I would find them I. Our fish tank. I would run to my mom screaming there are more snails may I have them. We would take them out and put them with my other snails. At the time I just tight they magically appeard in the fish tank. Years later my mom told me she would go out and buy the snails just so I can find them
Oh Lori, you're so compassionate. Most people go to extremes to rid their tanks of "pest snails". And then there's you, who goes out of her way to build them a special tank just for them. I watched a video some time ago by Life With Pets (fantastic channel if you want to learn about bettas!), and they prepped their live plants by dipping them in a diluted bleach solution. The ratio was something like 19 parts water 1 part bleach. The plants were dipped in that for a few seconds then rinsed. They did this a few times, and it got rid of the pests on their plants. Good luck with your tank!
You are such a sweet person Lori! Just because some little creatures were in your tank, you bought them a new tank and you take GREAT care of them! You are amazing and such a Great caretaker!! These animals are lucky to have a owner like you. Thank you for taking care of these amazing animals!! ❤️😘🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had pest snails in my tank the best way that doesnt leave them in pain is to remove fish and empty the water then add hot water and 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup salt salt and they die instantly or just hot water i used salt and baking powder because there were thousands of snail i got really depressed after all my fish of old age and so i had the glass complete coverd w snails my filter was also covered in snail most people who have been through depression knows doing things get really difficult so yh hot water kills them instantly because there tiny its cruel but needed to be done
i’ve somehow gotten stuck in a snail obsession within the past few months when we randomly decided to get a snail to help clean our tank. i now have a separate snail tank in my bedroom and i watch them like they’re my babies lol
You can also dose your tank with calcium without D3 to strengthen their shells and it's a little bit more aesthetically pleasing than having a cuttle bone inside of a fishtank!
Pink .N. Rose the snails are pretty strong when it come to water quality so they will be fine. But i get what ur saying when it comes to less hardy aquatic animals :)
She talked about that in her vlog video. Essentially the snails came in on her plants and she didn't know it so she added them to the tank before it was cycling. Keep in mind that tank is still not cycled and then she moved them to the snail tank. Since the other tank was never cycled to the beginning, pest snails, and hardy she made the decision to just get them a tank and "throw em in." But yes usually you wouldn't want to do that.
Jessica Kelley yes I spoke at length about how they were shipped to my on plants that were not even in water & still survived lol. They are fineee in any freshwater tank, new or old.
@@elliecolton17 just because they're hardy doesn't mean you should throw them in the proper tank set up should be done and cycling should be done no matter how hardy they are just saying no hate
I love this video! I have actually been researching aquatic snails for a little while and am considering getting 2.5 gallon tank and keeping a nerite or two in it.
I'm honestly not as much of a snail fan to get a whole tank dedicated to them. However I have a beautiful angel/ pleco tank and I have a very large snail in there not sure what species, but he enjoys algae tabs that I got for my plecos its kinda funny to watch him climb on it and eat at it.
How do you maintain the tank? How often do you change the water? How much water do you change at that time. I'm thinking about doing a snail tank with absolutely no aquatic experience, just for the fun and relativity
snails eat algae and waste, along with stuff like carrots, fish food, and lettuce, so they are kinda self-sustaining but once the water gets mucky, I would recommend turing off the filter, removing most of the water, add more water, and re-prime it and turn back on the filter. I owned a snail once with goldfish *NEVER DO THAT, THE GOLDFISH WILL EAT THE SNAIL* and I cant remember cleaning the tank ever since
Hey I'm the person who asked why wont my gecko eat. I fed him mangos and bananas and he loves it. And he got use to me with wearing gloves!😊 Very helpful!
Elisa Reaching For The Stars EGO may I ask why you wear gloves? I have a hard time getting my crested gecko to get his cgd. He will only eat crickets and ik that's not good for him and ik giving them straight fruit isn't good as well bc of all the sugar. Very complicated little guy
Brandy Weaver I recommend you both stop feeding insects and fruit until they eat a crested gecko diet. Pangea or Repashy. They will develop metabolic bone disease if you don’t, they aren’t getting everything they need. A healthy gecko will not starve itself. Offer multiple food dishes with multiple types of flavors. Pangea Insects is always a hit with our geckos - Repashy never works lol I’m a reptile breeder so I’m not talking out of my ass. I’ve got dozens of crested geckos. A trick I did with one of my problem geckos was put the cap of food to his face and make sure he started eating it. Then I would set it down in a place that he could see me doing it - so he knows that that is his food and he knows he already likes it. Any time I do it my problem gecko finishes it every time.
Yes, please do keep updates on the snail tank. It will be interesting to see how they populate. If it doesn’t turn out so bad, I might start one for my next tank.
Hi Lori how are you doing today fine I hope. thanks so much for sharing this video with us it was so much fun to watch. Your Aquatic 🐌 Tank is so beautiful when set up. I really love the different colours it looks really pretty. I'm really looking forward to you setting up your 🎏 tank with us. It's going to be so much fun can't wait. Really love all your animals so well take real good care of yourself and your pet's and lots of love from Jackie and Beauty bye for now love Jackie xxxx
I added two pea puffers to my 30 gallon community tank to help control the bladder snails and also assassin snails. It took a few months but it seems to be working. But I keep the ramshorns in another tank. They are too adorable.
I love you so much Lori ❤❤❤ great video! I have mystery snails and if you just sit and watch they are hilarious! Mine loves surfing on the cuddle bones lol. Cant wait to see more videos of your aquatic adventures!
I think the two tiny ones could be gyraulus acronicus. If they are, they are fully grown already. They are interesting creatures, their shell lies flat on their body instead of being vertical. I love snails and keep them in all my tanks :D
Hey Lori! Great video! Your tank looks so gorgeous ❤️ I had a serian hamster named Bear, he was so tame and sweet and unfortunately he passed away last night. I’m still heartbroken, I feel like a piece of me is missing 💔 but I also came to see my two land snails that share a 10 gallon tank laid eggs! That’s something to look forward to, I’m doing all my research about the eggs. Anyway, thanks for the great video, Lori! ❤️❤️
You poor girl!I was actually thinking about getting a hamster...Any tips for someone who wants a Syrian hamster?Hope you can get over his death,I know it’s not easy though.My kitten and puppy died within a few weeks of having them.
Thanks for this video! I got live plants for my aquarium. Even though I washed them off, I got snails...lots...of snails 🐌. I couldn't kill them. They didn't ask to be here lol!
I am so late to the party but am planning on doing this just now. Apparently a few bladder snails hitched a ride on my mystery snail I added to the tank a couple weeks ago. Found three bladder snails yesterday and I want them out but don’t have the heart to kill them. Going to pick up a 5 gallon tank and move them out of the 10 gallon with all my fish. May eventually add a beta to the new 5 but for now it will be just these three snails I never wanted lol.
Lori you should do a meet and greet in Tennessee! I live in tennessee and would love to meet you! Also, i have two 10g fish tanks, and one that had snails in it too! I just turned it into the snail and shrimp tank temporary! I am going to be turning back into a fish tank but i am waiting...
Hahaha, I looked on RU-vid because I have this exact issue, but could not bring myself to eliminate them. Sooo, they're getting a 10 gallon tank of their own! Thank you for this video!
Crowheart official hi ! So I wanted to know what kind of snails I have so I can do proper research on how to care for them. Can u please dm on my Instagram @only_cadavers_live_here
You can use something like Tetra Safe Start Plus to instant cycle a tank. I have used that in every tank that I have and I have never had any issues with fish dying. Now it;s good to use it with something like Prime, as that will detoxify the ammonia and nitrite, but 24 hrs after Prime, dose with TTS+ and add a couple of fish and yo are good to go! Walt 14 days, do a water change and you should be all cycled!
I would recommend swapping the filter that comes with the tank with a sponge filter if you can. I had the same tank and the flow is so low its almost non-existant and pretty much makes the filter useless :(
I have no gravel or stones or anything in my snail tank. Since I have babies in my tank, it would be super hard to vacuum gravel without sucking up babies that are not on the sides of the tank. They blend in too easily. Now I just do water changes and use a turkey baster to suck up their waste, knowing where the babies are. :-)
Did you do anything to cycle your tank or are they ok to just set in there? The only reason I ask is I am doing a fishless cycle on a 10 gallon to get a betta and my local pet store has a red racer nerite snail which I’ve found hard to find. So I was thinking of going ahead and getting him. My theory is that the hitchhiker snails that came on some plants have been fine so he should too???
Some other fish youtuber states that before putting in ornaments or deco: Either 1. Rinse it well and soak it over night 2. Soak in hot water for 15 minutes.
Hi, I really need some help. I just found one of my purple pincher hermit crabs in the saltwater dish, without his shell, missing his large claw, and really pale. He's still moving, though sluggishly, and I currently have him separated from the other tw in a separate container with moist substrate, some food, dechlorinated water and a couple of shells bigger than him. Is there anything else I should do/ improve for the little guy?
I bought algae and it had snail as well as dragonfly eggs on it. Didn't notice those at first tho. When I randomly threw a leaf into the tank I noticed that something's eating it and I spotted two snails. One week later I had like 10 if them. Then I saw the first of two dragonfly larvae and I killed It because I thought its gonna eat my snails. Spotted the second one and killed it as well. Few weeks later I'm a proud owner of 20-ish snails. Do have an ammonia spike right now tho because I think I threw in too much food or something. I tried feeding them some cucumber slices. Probably only needed to throw in a very small chunk. Be careful not to overfeed. Have a great day (my first experience with am aquarium btw and u didn't inform myself beforehand)
thank you for this video! I bought a nerite snail for my 10 gallon Betta tank and she started laying eggs everywhere. I knew it was a risk but didn't realize how much I would dislike it. It's littering my plants and spider wood and looks so bad :( so I'm looking into getting her a small tank to live in instead because I feel way too guilty to return her to the store. I don't want to abandon her and the thought of someone else buying her and not caring for her properly leading to her death is a horrible thought. 😭
I have a pest pleco who is a disease carrier, people been asking me to just kill him but I cant since he is living well and the disease is not affecting him, he is just carrying it. So I am glad theres someone like you who also cared for pest animals.
Once I had a 100 gallon community tank and I was about 12 and my sister and cousin busted the tank and the fish dried up and the snails had a little bit of water. They decided to take the snails and pull them out of their shell I cried for a month, it took me one year to get they community tank and a lot of money.
I just saved around 10 snails from a drying river and this helped me SO MUCH I'm giving 10 adult snails and a beta fish (yes they can live together if well fed but if either of them aren't feed good they can and will eat each other so I will watch and separate them if needed) a 10 GALLON TANK.
Is there anyway I could mix the coconut fibre with smooth pebbles to help, or maybe sand? I just bought coconut fibre before I realized my snail was a water snail so now I have coconut fibre and I don’t want to waste it 😩🐌
Definitely ordering that tank today for my tiny african dwarf frog. His current set up doesn't have a proper lid so am scared he will get out. The snails are adorable.a few yrs ago I started with 3 ended up with hundred s
Old tank water works really well to help cycle a new tank faster! Also when putting rocks in you should do it dry and then pour the water over a plastic bag that the rocks came in so you don't risk having murky water. It helps a lot!!
Wow, your snail tank looks better than my Bettas 5 gallon 😂Also, I have an infestation of ramshorns in my tank and I don’t know what to do. There are like 300 of them 🤦🏽♀️
Pest/bladder snails are really good algae eaters so it’s kinda a win win situation if u left them in the fish tank. And u also need algae wafers if the tank isn’t cycled or has algae. It’s good for them😁 And u also need a oxygen pump because they have gills they breathe oxygen ull kill them if u don’t put a oxygen pump Unless u change 3/4 of the water everyday but u won’t have as much algae☺️
Hi Lori! I love the way you set up your tank and I have the same snail problem in my main tank and want to get a small tank for them, do you think a 1.5 gallon would be okay? Thanks!
I hade a depressive episode recently and accidentally killed my land snails, so i've been wanting some aquatic snails, so and I have a small 2.5 tank so I'll be trying this out!
i bought a similar topfin tank. exept it is 3 gallons instead of 2. inside i have a ghost shrimp and an african dwarf frog. i wanted to know if i have enough space for a snail! :)
SteffJ’s RU-vid channel is amazing! She has some videos on apple snails and how to make Snello. Rae’s Aquaria also talks about Ramshorn Snails good luck!
I have two big spike topped apple snails and one of them is the size of the palm of my hand. She (I say she becauss when they mate female is on bottom and shes always on bottom) produces a lot of mucus and kinda traps my malasian trumpet snails, my bladder and my ramshorn snails in her snail slime.. I dont want to put her in with the little snails but i dont know what else to do for her. Shes got some shell damage from the others eating at her shell for calcium (even though they always have cuttlebone) and i dont want her to get more shell damage or hurt the little guys. What do i do?
Hi! Not sure if you still reply to comments on this video but I was wondering if I have to wait for the nitrogen cycle to finish before putting freshwater snails in my 2.5 gallon tank? Thank you!
I have a ten gallon and a betta fish in a 3.5 tank. I'm moving him to the ten gal and I want to get a mystery or nerite snail. I guess I could keep the ph around 7.4 to 7.6? If you think that would be an ok ph for the two how exactly would you feed them bc the betta fish is pretty greedy. Just a sinking snail food?
boscoitalics just remember this tank is too small for anything other than snails & maybe a beta but even they need 2.5 gallons minimum & I prefer 5 or more! I wouldn’t keep a fish in this tank!
I have 8 ramshorn and I collect some type of wild water plant that grows where I caught them BTW I put the snails in my own pond wich is where I got them so it's OK
You can also put in a green bean. I bought a bag of frozen green beans and I take one and drop it in the tank. The snails all love it. It always looks like a pack of very slow moving ravenous wolves on that bean... lol
I made the mistake of buying duckweed for my goldfish tank from a pond store and they happened to have snail eggs in them. Long story short I ended up with well over 200 of the suckers and have since dedicated my old 60 gallon breeder to them and they continue to repopulate. They range from amber gold to a leopard just like the one in the video but some are much bigger. If anyone in this thread needs some good pond cleaners I will rehome for free as long as you pay shipping. It’s honestly overwhelming how fast they repopulate and they will destroy aquarium plants so be careful putting more than one in a tank at a time unless you are using for a pond.
For a while I have kept snails as a pet and I have came to the conclusion that for 1 snail you should have 5 gallons. So, the amount of snails you are putting in there won’t be able to stay in there for a long time because they will get big. So it’s just a recommendation but I think that you should have have tanks ready for them once they get bigger.
I’m glad you made this video, I saw that same tank on petsmart.com but completely overlooked it. I have two turtles and they eat gold fish and they bite the tale off this little one and I felt bad so I ended up naming him so I’m going to get this tank for him to be safe from being dinner and some other cute gold fish I don’t want to see get eaten.
I came here as an emergency 🚨 I bout my 1st snail 3 weeks ago and I just found a baby snail delivering up the tank! 😱 how do I keep the baby from getting out my tank doesn’t have a lid or care for it?
Lol. I shocked petsmart..I told them can I have some of those snails ya'll are squishing? It puzzled both her and management..lol hopefully they will thrive!
