Yes and no it depends on the size of the loach.I take 5 snails with me to the pet store and feed them to the puffers or the loaches.I would think if your loach is over 2 1/2 inches they would have no problem.I feed them, to clown loaches and leapord and Figure 8 puffers.

do you know paypal? if you have bank account you can set up paypal to accept payments to you and then you can wire it from paypal into bank account, i believe you can even have them mail you a check but there is a fee for that i believe. As for shipping i wouldn't know but i would expect snails to be a hardy species and able to survive shipping in ziplock baggie with damn cloth in padded box. perhaps someone here can answer the shipping questions as i have not shipped fish/snails/plants before.

With snail it would be best to ship them in a ziplock bag with some kind of plant for them to snack/old on to. You need to make sure that there is Air in the bag so the snails dont get smashed. After you ahve done that I would double bag it in a bigger ziplock bag. After that get the Prority box and pack them to where there isnt a lot of space to move. Preferably in the center of the box.

One thing to remember is that the more water you have the more it will cost to ship the box.

I've shipped snails a few times, and I just got some fish bags from Wally-World (they gave them to me for free), put the snails in with some water, tied the bag in double knots then secured with a rubber band, and put them in a priority box with bubble wrap around them. Priority Mail is normally 2-3 days, and they have a square box that works perfectly.

You need your dads e-mail. It is his Paypal ID. Then give it to whom you are selling the snails to. They will send a payment to it. Once your dad has recieved it. You mail the snails. If they are getting a lot of snails which means a lot of water do the $8.10 Shipping in a flat rate box. It will save on shipping Cost.
