I want to start a breeder, maybe, just for an excuse to have a one gallon planted but until then I need to keep these horn snails where they won't get eaten.
Yup unfortunately it won't harm then; when I had my unheated set ups there'd be plenty there to sift the sand for me My livingrm was warmer then 60's thou Prop 65 and 70 during the day something like that.
Let me know how it works out for you, I am going to start breeding some in a few weeks or so, and if they do fine without a heater Id' like not to have another thing to plug in.

Are you saying they'll be fine and they will also breed?
Should I just put fish flakes and let them have at it?
On topic of snails. Do they get in to canister filters? If I have to clean and scrape snails out of my canister filter I am going to have a problem with snails. And when I have a problem with creatures of any kind, I wage war on them. Be it weeds, wasps, you name it.
I need a lot more than you can ship, girl. My dp's cleared out dozens of snails in under a week (all babies of course). Unless you want to set up a weekly shipping program : )
