PostSubject: Snails fight back!   Wed Jan 16, 2008 8:37 pm

I wasn't going to do the water change tonight because I feel so rough, but was worried because I usually change the water over the weekend so it's well overdue.

So I started emptying the water out and cleaning the gravel, and disturb a load of snails. Start to crush them, my preferred method of keeping the numbers down, and cut my flammin' finger on one of the shells! The cut is about 1/2" long and bled like crazy!!

Serves me right - they were bound to fight back eventually! Mad
