Hey, I'm new to the world of snails, so too say.
Any way, I have setup a tank all ready for the GALS, and im wondering how many i should put in the tank... Dimesnsions follow....
Width = 18 inches Height/Depth = 11 inches
The person im getting them off recomended upto 8 but i thought that was far tp much with 5 inch shells, so i though roughly 4, But what do you guys reckon??

maybe you can identify them here:- www.petsnails.co.uk/species/To be honest with your tank being 18"x11"x11" is quite small. I would say a maximum of 2 x 5" snails in this. When they stretch out they are going to be be nearly the width of the tank. Brian.

sam
please do not squash your snails they will be sad
linda
pound land sell tanks so f you need more room get another tank or 2
but also remember gals need some heat ... a heat mat these can be about £10 each
also you need a sprayer to mist them about £1.50
also some cuttlefish in each tank about 80 p a piece
in a ddition to the substrate .. the soil or coir or moss
even if somebody sent you a spare bit of moss free it would need replacing fairly soon all tanks need a good cleanout once a week or so to keep the snails healthy
take care linda
