snails - collected from local area?
gday reefers :)
another quick question. I was thinking, where I am going to collect salt water, I have been told that ya can find lots of different types of snails.
so questions -
is it legal to collect a couple of snails from a natural enivronment?
should I avoid any type of snail (as in can they become a pest more than a help if they are the wrong sp.)?
can they carry other unwanted things to a tank (as in any pests, diseases, hitchhikers. I realise that there is some sort of risk to every sort of wild collection)?
I am asking as I dont want to do the wrong thing in regards to collecting from the wild, dont want to take anything ILLEGAL, and am just being overly cautious.
I dont expect anyone to get pics of snails that are good, bad etc. just a couple of answers or leads and I will do the info hunting myself.
