Plant Points: 15250 | Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii If anyone is interested, my large blue apple snails just had a cluster of eggs. I'm not sure if they survived being exposed to air for a day, (I unknowingly did this.) If they do hatch, you can have them free at the June or July meeting.
The max size is 2 inches, they ignore the plants in my tank and crawl along the glass the majority of the time. They are not destructive to any plants that I have, and as far as I can tell they just help me to not have to clean the glass of algae. Let me know if you are interested. |

Plant Points: 950 | Re: Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii I would be interested in a few. All I have are little snails that come in with plants. I've never attended one of the meetings though.

Thank You Karen |

Plant Points: 15250 | Re: Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii Oops, well I submerged them before checking to see if they were above or below the waterline layers (these are above) so I may have ruined this clutch, although I'm sure I'll find more soon since they are in breeding mode, in case these don't make it when I move them to the top of the tank... will keep you posted. |

Plant Points: 15250 | Re: Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii OOps yeah that didn't do them any good... I'm sure they will mate again before the next meeting and I'll hopefully have your snails ready by then. |

Plant Points: 15250 | Re: Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii Okay they are up to it again. I'm just going to leave the eggs alone and cross my fingers! Everyone still want them? |

Plant Points: 15250 | Re: Free Large Blue Apple Snails, Pomacea Bridgessii I've got two clutches(?) now, so there will be plenty to go around, it just takes a month to six weeks before they hatch, not like your typical slightly annoying snails. I'll let everyone know when they are roaming and ready to be taken. Hopefully by the next meeting they will be, and this time I just left them on the glass. Keep your fingers crossed. |
