I plan to get a dwarf puffer for my 6.6g aquarium, so I thought I would start raising snails for feeders. I set up a little two gallon with some pests snails I collected from Petco. I had a sponge filter for the snails, but I was having some circulation issue with my 6.6g so I moved the filter into there.
My question is do snails really need a filter? Or any water movement at all?
Also, I am not quite sure what to feed them. I gave them some lettuce, but I don't think they touched it, so I am trying an algae wafer. Right now they are munching on some old microsword but I don't plan on giving them any other plants. I know they eat algae, but I don't really have any algae.
I have never raised snails before, I usually do everything I can to get rid of them, so I don't have any experience with this. Thanks!
