I just want to say, your voice is so soothing you should narrate books! And thank you for all the info, I’m brand new to snails (surprisingly addicted!) and I’m eager to learn as much as possible
I love your channel. I’ve recently found a love for owing mystery snails. I have almost one of every color and they are all so beautiful and already so big. Some snail love started happening too so hopefully I will get some little snail babies soon. I absolutely love mystery snails and they are the absolute most adorable things in the world. I have every color except purple and black. Your page has helped me learn so much. I always love learning as much as I can for my new hobby. Thank you!
That snail planter is kind of kool think getting one and put it in the tank and grow some aquatic plants name it Kingsnail 😂 bow down to the giant snail little snails🤣🐌🖤
I had the same thoughts. But i worry about the glaze with the water. Maybe put a small water plant in it but not submerged it or put a cattails, and/or lucky bamboo.
I know this is an older video, but I just want to say I totally agree about Seachem Products being magic! I always joke about how Prime is my little magic potion. I'm definitely going to try out Safe now.
I had no idea those seachem products existed!!! I will definitely be purchasing a lot of these products. I have already been eyeing a few of these but had no idea if they were good. ALSO my snails go absolutely CRAZY for those crab sticks!! lol
I'm not going to lie, this video made me pee myself a little bit. I needed every single tip/item you showed. I've been scrambling to keep my snails happy! I've been using wonder shell. I like snails and have always had "pest" snails because of how beneficial but recently my kindergartner decided she LOVES snails and I now basically have a snail farm. Rabbit snail, nerites, purple mystery, gold mystery, assassin (obviously separate). I think trumpet is the only kind I don't have at this point. And I have been struggling to keep their shells looking strong and healthy. Have done eggshells and wonder shells so far with not much luck. Got all of the ingredients for one of your snello recipes but have been too scared to make it. Have crab cuisine but didn't seem to have much excitement over it from what I saw. All of my tanks have different pH, KH, GH. But all have pH over 7.2-7.4+ I forget exactly what my GH tends to show but it's normally around 8-9 I believe and kh is always on the lower end around 4. I use prime and had heard of safe but thanks for letting me know exactly what it is. Hoping you have an affiliate link cause I'm about to get like everything I don't have that you mentioned! I have no idea if you will see this but thanks again you snail sorcereress!! 💜💜🐌🪄
I'm gonna get some of this stuff ASAP! I was gonna ask last video if you could do a haul of some sort (or "what I use off (website, store, etc)") but this is better!
LAV!! WE HAVE HUGE NEWS!!! We have a chimera! A beautiful ivory it's been five days since we discovered him and we're still in shock so amazing we were so in love with Harvey Dent and we named hours Kai. I couldn't find any of the mini sized python filters on Amazon but I did just find them on sale on chewy for 499 so I'm going to grab a bunch of them thank you so much we use turkey basters and with 12 aquariums it's not enough. I wish we could add pictures because Kai is so incredible!!! He's nickel size now.
Omgoodness!! Congratulations!!! How special Kai is!! How lucky! Woohoo!! Best of luck with him!!🥳🐌💜 And I'm not surprised, those mini pythons are amazing so I makes sense they would sell out fast on Amazon. Glad you found one on chewy!! 👍👍 keep me updated on magical Kai and congrats again!! 💜🐌💜
Aquarium co-op for filter stuff 5 bucks + sponges also Fritz girl here but that buffer sure looked nice. My guys like snail cookie pellets it's a bit more but crayfish always hooks me up I love them;
You must be a WoW player with the music from it I hear in the background of all yours vids, lol. Great recommendations btw, am new to mystery snails and one of the two I gots shell seems to have eroded some on the top layer so I'm trying to look for solutions beyond just the crushed egg shell and a wonder shell might be worth trying.
Hi, I recently got a blue mystery snail and want to really gove this a good go, I have had random snails in the past that accidentally found their way into my tank on plants and also had some in a goldfish tank years ago but this time I want to properly take care of "Lapis" (blue mysteries name).. I find wonder shell quite difficult to get where I live.. Will cuttlebone shell work as an alternative?
Hoping for clarification.... the Pawfly Aquarium Fish Breeding Box, which size do you recommend? The link goes to a Medium, but I believe you referred to the small size prize. Thank you much!!
My baby snails don't seem to be eating whatever I give them. I've used calcium chips, snail cookies, algae wafers, flakes. Don't know what else to do. Any suggestions.
Hi Lav, do you dose the alkalinity booster and equilibrium with every water change. I've been racking ny brain how to use it to help with my kh and gh. Thanks!
Thanks lav! Great products! I use seachem safe too🙂 each container is good for 60k gallons should last me a few years at least. Also have you ever used aragonite or crushed coral in the substrate? It really keeps the ph up and helps to buffer kh as well👍🏻
Hey there! Thank you for watching! I have tried numerous types of things in my tanks before ending up using Seachem. I have 1 tank that is entirely crushed coral substrate and it STILL could not maintain ph over 6, kh was scary low and the gh was almost not present at all. I just assumed it was due to the amount of snails I keep in each tank. Some 20g's have upwards of 200 mysteries in them. With the amount the mysteries poop and how much their growth sucks minerals from the water column I have found the only way to keep the water consistent, stable and healthy for them is the addition of the seachem products. Again, this is just all my personal experience. I wish my "beach", with its crushed coral substrate worked as it was supposed to, but alas, apparently not when you keep hundreds of snails. Lol 🤷♀️🐌💜 thanks again for watching I appreciate it !
Lav's Snails yes I too have literally hundreds and more hatching every day😀 our water in Michigan seem quite hard in our area. One of my 20 longs with my golds I use a mixture of regular aquarium gravel and crushed coral the gh is 300 and the kh is 40+ in this tank I have probly 150 dime sized and 4 big adults, I just set up 2 new tanks in my fishroom for my mystery snails, there is also bristlenose plecos with 3 generation of baby plecos, I think that tank is cursed with love😂🤣😂
The amount of copper found in crab cuisine is WAY too small of an amount to be harmful. In my snaily opinion, Crab cuisine is one of the best mystery snail foods out there. It's full of all sorts of things they need to thrive and grow healthily. and Bonus: Most inverts absolutely LOVE it. I've never seen a snail, shrimp, or crayfish turn down yet! 🐌💜
I do, in fact, explain in this video how I use all these items and why they are my favorites, hence the title of the video. I also explained the same in the dollar tree video. Thank you for your positive and encouraging comment. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I love your world of warcraft music too! Great taste on snails and on games!
Thank you! 💜🐌 for the horde!
@@LavsSnails For the Horde! Atm playing my Blood elf demon hunter killing Alliance at pvp! Great channel you have!
So nice to know there are more snail lovers out there
I just want to say, your voice is so soothing you should narrate books! And thank you for all the info, I’m brand new to snails (surprisingly addicted!) and I’m eager to learn as much as possible
I'm going to start using Safe from now on instead of Prime! Thank you for the info Lav! 💜💜💜
You're so welcome & Good choice! 👍🐌💜
I live your channel. Beginning snail 🐌 enthusiast. Your voice is everything and your humor. Thanks I'm super nervous starting out.

Great video and love the WOW background music!
Great Advice/Information. Thumbs UP👍👍👍👍👍
Seachem really is amazing. Started my tank with it 2 months ago and my parameters are PERFECT. Snails are super happy 😊
Lots of good information and alot of the information also works to neo caradina shrimp as well. Thanks for sharing ✌️👍👍💯
I LOVE your channel..binge watching today just getting I to mystery snails and land 🐌

It was cool I just got a snail and learning how to take care of it
Thanks for the info Lav!!
Thank you Sharron!💜
Do you have a video on how to add all of the Seachem products. I’m afraid of chairing levels. My snail shells keep eroding so I’ve go to do something.
You must be a WoW player with the music from it I hear in the background of all yours vids, lol. Great recommendations btw, am new to mystery snails and one of the two I gots shell seems to have eroded some on the top layer so I'm trying to look for solutions beyond just the crushed egg shell and a wonder shell might be worth trying.

Very good video and information. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 💜🐌
A note on agar: it gels beautifully but there seems to be a lot more waste on the other end. Maybe it doesn’t digest as well?
Also, Lav, thank you so much for another wonderfully informative and entertaining video :)
Hi , I love your video , I have a tank with a betta , 5 neons , a pleco and two mystery snails , would equilibrium be ok for all of them ?
Thank you
Hoping for clarification.... the Pawfly Aquarium Fish Breeding Box, which size do you recommend? The link goes to a Medium, but I believe you referred to the small size prize. Thank you much!!
you sound like a professional fm radio dj =)

Is everything okay to use with a betta fish in the tank?
Yes
Is a kh of 8 and gh of 16 good for mystery snails?
May I please ask how many gallons your tank is ?
Can you do a water change video?
Hi lav! How many gallons is the tank in the beggining 0:39 ?
Hiya! 20g 👍🐌💜
@@LavsSnails thank you! It’s such a beautiful set up and beautiful snails 😍
Thank you!
I just purchased Crab Cuisine and on the ingredient list is copper sulfate! Copper is fatal to snail.
The amount of copper found in crab cuisine is WAY too small of an amount to be harmful.
In my snaily opinion, Crab cuisine is one of the best mystery snail foods out there. It's full of all sorts of things they need to thrive and grow healthily.
and Bonus: Most inverts absolutely LOVE it. I've never seen a snail, shrimp, or crayfish turn down yet! 🐌💜
Can you do a video how to make calcium blocks pleassseeee 🙏
Sure! I will put it on the list! 👍🐌💜

Hahaha was listening to the video and I was like am I outside of ironforge lol
She doesn’t explain how she uses these including in her dollar tree video
I do, in fact, explain in this video how I use all these items and why they are my favorites, hence the title of the video.
I also explained the same in the dollar tree video.
