Introducing snails

I am getting some snails delivered and am wondering what is the safest way to add them to my planted co2 tank....I recently added three nerite snails which all died

Are you saying snails cant live in a tank with CO2?

i have one in my tank and i just threw it in. just make sure it is the right way up!!

if you worried

Put it in a bowl next to the tank and over 30 mins add small amounts of tank water via piece of airline etc.

Then place in your tank the right way up should be fine.

just do the same thing you do for fish and they will be fine. make sure they have plenty of food and wont be attacked.
