  • Blister our Tetraodon pustulatus is always hungry and making sure he has lots of hard shelled aquatic invertebrates to work his dental plates on is important.
    Todays video we test out my tried and true DIY easy snail trap versus a brand name (SERA) snail trap.
    Which you do you hypothesize will perform best?
    Do you have you own DIY Snail trap that you think work well? let me know in the comments.
    Thanks for watching my friends!,
    Cheers!

      I was really surprised honestly at how incredible the Sera snail trap worked

    Glad you said MTS - because ramshorns, bladders, and pond snails are a blessing... it's just Jesus blessing you from heaven telling you that you can buy a puffer fish...

    What's up, my brother? I use the same bottle trap ( larger ), for trapping my livebearers, in the outdoor tubs. Works, very well to catch those stragglers that evade netting. Always, catches snails as incidental bycatch.

      Hello my Southern Brother!
      Ive used the diy bottle thing for decades but this contraption from Sera was a game changer...It actually worked too well.
      How you doing? Getting ready for Spring as our temperatures start to plummet ?

      I'm, surviving lol. Yeah, that Sera trap looks pretty effective. I'm recovering slowly from the 2019-2022 dramas and slowly building up stock levels and getting down to business. Feeling positive and primed for our out door season down here. Haven't, felt that way in a long time. Might reboot the channel somewhere in the New Year. Will drop ya an email sometime and catch up. Luv ya

    That Sera trap is way too efficient, the snail population could never keep up with that kind of harvesting, but perfect for total eradication!
    One more thing, your hand tat is hilarious, I named my wifes animal crossing island El Pleco, that first word is so versatile haha!

      There’s a reason behind why I did it this way. Originally I though of using the O nip tabs provided in both. But I was more looking towards the results based on my regular experience using cucumber. It’s been my tried and true for decades. Perhaps I should have mentioned it in the video.
      THank you for commenting about it.
