I was thinking of keeping some of my fulica with my A. marginata, the ones from Brixton...I keep my margies in a couple of large tanks, 2 snails to a tank, and one tank with 3 margies, so it will be enough room to share fulica with them...Is it ok though to mix captive bred with wild snails?

Yes it is as long as you are sure the wild caught ones don't have any parasites on them(in other words keep them in quarantine first)

I think you have to use common sense when it comes to how long. None of us are able to tell if there are internal parasites, so if you were waiting until your 100% sure, it might never happen  Am I making sense?! I think aslong as they have had a good few weeks seperate with lots of baths, substrate changes and eating and poohing well which would logically clear their system a bit. But thats what I'd do, you might want to wait longer. Nat |
