well i have about 6 left at the moment.
i hadnt planned on having babies, but big momma was a cheecky snail and laid the eggs where i could not see them.
and you think i would have learned my lesson, but no some of my other briggs did the same now my tank is covered in tiny dots.
everything will be ok im off out today to buy a grow out tank for them.
so if anyone would like some briggs please let me know.
its only the yellow ones for now untill the coloured ones are big enough!
p.s. im in the uk near oxford

ok i still have some left.
i really need help guys! im so overstocked right now its crazy.
and they are starting to get big now, pluss some are learning the facts of life if you know what i mean lol.
im willing to give them away for free and pay the p&p myself (donations are welcome).
i just want to make sure they go to good homes and be cared for.
i dont want to have to do the cruel thing if you know what i mean.
after just looking in my tank again im seeing how quick the other (coloured) babies are gowing, im will add some in with the yellows as a thank you for helping me.

Hi  I have two GALs at the moment, who have been at it like err, snails and am really excited at the prospect of the pitter patter, err, rather slithery sound of feet! ;D Would love to have a couple of your baby briggs if you still have some left? I have just got a new tank and all the accessories. Have you got any pics? Look forward to hearing from you. Nik |

Hi Nik,
Have you cycled a new tank before? The tank will need to be fully cycled before adding the snails or they will suffer from ammonia and nitrite poisoning and possibly die.
The tank will need to have zero ammonia, zero nitrIte with a low reading for nitrAte. If all three are at zero that's no good.....there must be nitrAte present.
If you can get your hands on some "used" filter sponge from an established filter that will speed things up a lot. Otherwise you can add a little fish food to the tank everyday (like you're feeding invisible fish) for a few weeks until the tank is ready for critters.

Sorry took me so long to reply! Didnt realise briggs needed aquarium. I only have a plain tank which housed Ren and Stimpy (my GALs) before they outgrew it. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to learning all the different species!
