Nice and tidy

[feebix]

I love it when I`ve just tidied and cleaned the glass and stuff in my snail tanks. ;D I`ve brought my snails back downstairs now it`s warmed up a bit. It`s really nice to see them again

I`ve lost two lovely snails through the cold, I think quite a few people have lost at least one. It`s really sad... I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning snail tanks and doing a bit of a change over. I`ve wanted to clear out my octona tank now for a while so I spent hours searching for tiny little snails in the compost lol and then I moved them to a slightly smaller tank upstairs. That left me with a nice sized tank for my Pleurodonte maginella and my Hadra webbi, now I don`t have to worry about eggs getting mixed up with C.Marginella or not being able to find them. Hopefully, they`ll get to breeding in there. I can just leave them to it aswell, I cut the perspex lid myself, there are only the tinyest gaps in it. I`ll be sooooo happy if either of those two species breed ;D The tank below is the new Hadra and Pleurodonte tank, I thought I`d measure temps in there at first just to put my mind at ease. I`ve got 27c at the back and 19c at the front, cushdy ;D

I`m going to temporarely put an extra heater on this tank and my mid sized one too I think, I`ll do that every winter now....

Wow don't show my snails they will be jelous! I like the what you've done with the substrate on the bottom one. I'm sure your snails will enjoy trashing all your hard work tonight lol

nice looking tanks there mate

just waiting on one of a few packages to arrive, 1 of which will also have some P.Marginella in there, 3 of, so will see how i fair

your twisty vine thingys, did you get them from a fish shop? .......none for sale in mine

[feebix]

Well, they don`t tend to bulldoze because of the way I do the tank. I always have it deep at either side and I dig plant pots into the sides too. The feeding area in the middle is shallow. They dig into the sides but it doesn`t make a mess really, they just bury themselves nice and tidy ;D lol I stuff the plant pots with moss too, they burrow into that and they love it ! ;D

[snailcrazy]

I did my tank with deep sides a few times and mine trashed it in no time. They like to tip up their dishes. I have a deep water dish in now that they can't tip over and they sit in it. They love the logs and moss mine like to hide in them.

I think it`s because my sides are so steep, it just collapses when they come out. Koppite, I got those vines off Ebay, they`re posable too so you can bend them how you want them There`s a link here somewhere, I`m not sure where it is but I think Ness knows....
