You might be sitting on FREE MONEY and not even know it!
Let's face it, times are tough. Inflation is through the roof and gas prices aren't very kind right now, either. We could all use a side gig, right? I breed and sell aquarium snails out of my basement in Canada and you can too! How much can you make per month? How did I get into this? All of this and more in this video on this crazy side hustle.

I have a 7-way "money tank" I set up with 7 different very prolific species of animals/plants. I also save all my dirty tank water from water changes. Pour that crap in a mason jar and sell it to gardeners as a liquid fert. Ever squeeze a sponge filter and see all that gunk? That's money.

@@iguessyouknow6285 Frogbit, water sprite, anubias nana petite, mystery snails, endler's, blue cherry shrimp, and rabbit snails. There are some pink ramshorns in there as well, but there's so much competition for food they rarely breed. I run 2 sponge filters only in a 20gal long, but the bigger the tank, the more money you can make. As for the water, I don't advertise it as being tank water because people get weird about it. I bottle it up, slap a label on it, and go to social media gardening groups. I also grow veggies in the summer, so I do keep some for myself as well. As for prices, you'll have to check your local market first and go from there. Most of my livestock gets sold to local pet stores since they're always buying and I don't like dealing with shipping.

I thought more tanks too and now I have 6 “species only” 😔 guppy mystery snail tanks.., thanks. 2 x20 gal long, 40 breeder, 55 gal 3x10 gallon tanks filled with endler’s and mosaic dumbo guppy’s still separating males from females and tons of white mystery snails. Every tank is over stalked, has weekly (daily) ammonia spikes and gross 🤮 cloudy water. To make things stupid -my husband is freaking out on the $$$ I spend on water conditioners, filter media and bacteria .. not to mention late night turns 5 am water changing emergencies- I bought a water pump. yay!🎉 anyone want snails and guppies? Buy one get 10 free😂

Omg I just watched your selling snails video. Great video, I love humor. But that milk container thing you said is Canadian, well I live in Pennsylvania we had a local farm that sold milk in bags and you had to have one lol. I had to tell you Pennsylvania had them. I subscribed to channel. I have loved fish keeping for 50 years. I have betta babies right now and guppies, Cory cats that have bred. The ramshorn snails I got maybe 6 months ago, I figured I'd try and make a few bucks, but id really like to get into breeding and selling some fish and I'd like to try shrimp. I'm not out to get rich , just make enough to buy more supplies or fish lol. Sorry for the huge comment. I don't get out often lol

Thanks for checking out the channel and subbing! much appreciated! I've been super busy lately but I am trying to get some content together for people to continue to enjoy!
The only time I've ordered ramshorn snails they came in the mail in a tiny sauce/dipping container(3"x3") with a small hole in the top and they were inside of a wet paper towel(I'm assuming tank water). I was skeptical, but every single one was alive and immediately moving. The same seller also ships scuds in those tiny containers, but with water, also no issues when I've bought them.

They are pretty resilient creatures. I always ship them in fish bags but they do get shook up quite a bit that way.

Don't hold me to it but I've kept Nerite snails with plants and have never experienced that they've eaten my plants. However, I suppose they would if there aren't not enough algae for them.

I do get the bigger snails mixed up when it comes to which ones eat plants. I think it's apple snails that will dummy your plants
I'm confident that snail sales will pay for college for my child, but another option to having too many snails is to start more tanks to accommodate them.
@BobMossNanoTanks
Жыл бұрын
yes, more tanks is the right answer.
Feel a little bad. Just put food in a little dish two days in a row. Let it fill up with pond snails and threw them away. Do that whenever they start to get out of control. Don’t usually keep pond snails they came in on a plant and wow they are not like rams horn and mtg snails. Not at all. Find it easy to keep their populations in check and love them. Oh well they are here to stay. Going to be a pond snail genocide at my house every few months or so. Thinking of getting a pea puffer when my next tank is all set up. Free food is already here. 😃

I thought Nerite snails weren't ones to eat plants, but rather like ramshorns and eat decaying matter and micro algae? I've had nerites in my planted tanks and my plants haven't shown signs of an om-nom-nomming, at least in my experiences.
