Blue Mystery Snails

I got these guys just before christmas and they have grown to more than a inch. I really enjoy watching them. They move faster than you would think.

This is a pic of one of my snails at feeding time using it's "foot" as a syphon to send particles right into it's mouth. They are awesome!


This snail looks white but the camera washed it out. I love watching them and the angels....great fun!

Snails are pretty cool, i would like to get them but my fish would probably eat them.

What type of fish do you have? I don't think most any fish can eat a japanese trapdoor snail once the snail gets big enoughXD

Big apple snail are the best. The ones around the size of a softball. Steamed with garlic and butter make a meal.

Malawi Haps and Peacocks and a few Mbuna, i know like like 10 of them eat crustaceons, so i would think that would mean snails.

My loaches would pop open the trap door and lunch on these as they hit the water . I keep assasin snails in my plants to control the population of common snails that are throughout my system . There are no loaches in the plants so the assasins control the population in those tanks hypotheticaly anyway . The loaches munch them everywhere else as they are a food source for the loaches

I have friends who just have tanks full of snails....not me....Iz like the fishies too.... I don't like the common snails, these guys lay their eggs above the water line so they are easy to control if you want to. Cool guys to have in your tank!

haha wow:0 and i do have to say i have never had a fondness for the consumption of snails.

You don't travel and enjoy local delicaties

I do travel and enjoy local delicacies, as long as they are not snails, or genitalia. Other then that I have tried a lot from pickled pigs feet, to that chocolate and hot sauce thing.

How about deep fried scorpions?

Yup. And crickets. Wait i think the scorpion was just in a lolly, but i ate a spider fried.

You don't ask what you ate until you have finish dinner.

yeah that is definitely a good rule, especially when i went traveling in indiaXD

I won't be going to india any time soon now

Thailand for scorpions
