do you think he could sell them? post-4056-1113060392.gif

He could sell them as puffer or loach food on aquabid...dont think many would sell. Looks like MTS and Ramshorns. Not 100% sure on the rams.

EDIT: by the way, flushing snails is a very bad idea and can clog his plumbing and contaminate water supplies, among other things. smile.gif He could ask to see if pet stores would take them.

I had literally hundreds and hundreds of those when I took down my 55 gallon. I felt too bad just killing them so I took them to work and put some in the plant tanks there (lots of people like them) and also gave some to friends.

If you look hard enough there is usually someone somewhere willing to take them. smile.gif

Tell him to (as mean as it sounds) please freeze them before flushing. atleast that way he isnt creating an ecological disaster!

Uh-oh. I have a ton of the little spirally ones in the 130gal.

Yeah, he should freeze them because if they get into local water sources..... he could have a problem.
