kmetzger Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'm starting up my fish pond again and would be grateful to anyone who might also have a pond and has a few snails for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 No snails but I could give a couple of hundred guppies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyvmx Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have snails 🐌. I'm in Riberas. I have 2 aquariums, one has large Upside-down catfish. Unusual and fun to see. I would love to see Fred's pond and fish but I don't have a car. If you would like company I would be happy to go along. I wear a mask. Fred and I are friends. He may still have a siphon hose for me. 331 319 1012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I do still have the hose for you. The "pond" is actually a large rubber raised pool with steel wire holding up the sides.....the beauty, if any, is watching a couple hundred guppies and a water lily.

Ferret Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Guppies are wonderful mosquito eaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmetzger Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thank you, Fred. I'm going to contact sunnyvmx about the snails. And then I'll call you about the guppies next week. I can't put fish in the pond until I have the pump running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 The fish will wait and there will be more next week than there were this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 10 Guppies will soon be 100. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkshawn Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 They do manage to reach a neutral population demographic based on food availability & water conditions. We have had a garden pound full of Calla Lilies & guppies that we have never fed in over 12 yrs. Fresh Water very slowly overflows the pond into the garden, no pump. We have a suspicion that as the females berth their fry, there are others nibbling on the resultant competition. They certainly learn hiding & schooling skills quickly!

sunnyvmx Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I gave him Ramshorn snails this morning. They can produce more snails all by themselves. No need for both sexes. He has a large pool. I'm looking forward to the visit with you next week. I can home 4 or 5 males. Strictly a bachelor pad. He asked me why the white Mollie was following the black one so closely. I said they were gay. I'm not surprised, the black one is a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmetzger Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm very sorry to disappoint you, sunny, but I now have some guppies and won't be able to drive to Jocotepec. Thank you again for the snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
