How do i put a mystery snail..?

Question

how do i put it in the tank without hurting it?

Answer 1

Believe it or not, you can just gently slide it from the bag in to the water, and it will float down fairly slowly. It won't hurt him. My snails "sky-dive" all the time. They will go up to the water line by the filter and then let go of the glass and float down. Most of the time, they have a little air in their shell so they don't sink like a stone.

Answer 2

float the bag for 20 minutes

add a cup of tank water to the bag

wait another 10 minutes

use a net to take the snail out and place it in the tank

discard the bag water

done

Answer 3

a net...why not touch him? I usually just hold his shell and put him in. But if you don't want to just use a net. Sometimes they will be stuck to the side of the tank and try and hold on (mine is really bad about that) instead of pulling out (that might pull him out of his shell...EEEWWWWW) pull him up!

Answer 4

After you have floated the bag for 15 minutes, then added water from the tank into his bag and waited 15 more minutes, just pick him up by his shell, it does not hurt him!

Edit:Use a net or a cup.
