However, I agree about large snails in a nano. A Trochus is a better choice IMO. I had one a 30 gallon, I liked him okay and he knocked over some frags from time to time. I have a Mexican Turbo in each of my tanks. I like them so much they've got names. Posted April 25, Maybe too warm??
Great information, however it would have been great to see some photos of each to help identify one from the other. In the beginning of this hobby, I was often sold something other than what I asked for. Until I started diving into clean up crew and doing a lot of research did I find out the truth. I no longer give those lfs my business. Knowledge is power! I like to have a variety of snails in my tanks.
I always start small, , of each kind, over time. Much more success buying and increasing slowly. I love snails. I have mostly cerith, dwarf cerith, trochus and astrea. My dwarf ceriths breed like crazy. I have great success with keeping Nerite Snails for algae control. They are great tankmates in the freshwater hobby. I completely agree with your comments about margarita snails. Good to know. I despise cleaning my tanks so i am considering buying several snails.
Im glad i found this article. I keep mine as pets all on their own, they dont neccisarily exist just for cleaning the tank, I love them just as much as the others. So you are saying that I might have to say goodbye to Turbo in the next few months? I am gonna go cry now. I have been searching for ann article like this for who knows how long and finally I have some more knowledge:.
Very interesting info the way you have it laid out. We just added some new Mexican Turbo Snails over the holidays. Not sure about the margarita info, I have a few that are many years old and breed in my tank. The rest is good info. I enjoy a variety in my aquariums of snails. They seem to thrive in my systems I am sure I have at least of each one above! Great article. Very useful as I begin to stock my tank with a cleanup crew. A couple more days and I can start putting snails in!
This was very helpful. I was getting overwhelmed with all the different kinds of snails and which ones to choose. This has helped me a lot.
So glad to see trochus snails get their due. They are far and away my favorite snail for above bed cleaning, of course. Interesting read about all these snails!! I had to look a few up just so I referenced what they actually looked like. Happy everyone!! Snails make up the majority of my CUC. The vermatid snail makes up the majority of my pests also. I currently home 3 little turbos that seem to love life in my tank! I definitely would want to add some trochus snails and a fighting conch or two if I ever get to upgrade my tank.
We have had so many snails in our tanks over the years, but I had no idea about all the things they can do for a tank. Really cool! Your email address will not be published. These snails are characterized by spiral-shaped, domed shells that rarely grow bigger than 4 inches in size.
Turbo snails are one of the best algae eaters in the cleaning crew that you should add to your tank. As for how many turbo snails per gallon, it depends on many factors such as the amount of algae in your tank, the condition of your tank,…But ideally every gallons contains only one snail.
