They survived a 7 day trip & all of them where fine. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

The only problem with Apple Snails, is how to keep their shell in perfect condition. The Nerite did a great job with cleaning, but also left alot of small spots on the glass, that i still don't know what they are. Now only 1 is left & i keep it with the smallest fry that i have. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
