Take a look after the lights have been out for 3 or 4 hours, your jaw
will drop. I went through a thunder storm power outage here in Dallas
last night and was checking the fish about 3 AM and there were many
thousands in my 110.

Why on earth do you want these things?
They will over run your tank in months. You'll never get rid of them either,
unless you either bleach the tank or toss everything and start over. = (

Maybe in your tank, not in mine. I have a 55 g and have had them in
there for about 2 years. I never see more than 10 at a time and rarely
that many. Maybe there are more in the gravel but they rarely show
themselves.

I agree with Red that they are beneficial to the tank, won't eat plants
and will add that as far as snails go, they're kind of cool!
