    Turbos and astreas, to be specific.

    Good idea? Bad idea?

    I wouldn't do it.... What is your reasoning? Concerned about parasites?

    I think it would just cause unwanted stress on the snails...

    Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, everything in my LFS is infested or infected with SOMETHING.

    I suppose you could but snails do NOT like quick changes in salinity, you might have a couple dead afterward!
