Attack of the Snail... - Aquarium Advice

Jason the Lost · 09-04-2005, 05:27 AM

Took some amusing pics last night at feeding time. Dropped in the tab and as soon as the cories started breaking it up the snail started hauling in that direction to hog it.

Very nice photo essay

For the record, snails will "overpower" any fish that attempts to consume what is rightfully theirs...which means anything on the bottom that they sniff out. That's what the shell is for...bumping tankmates out of their way. [acronym:f5d043011c="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:f5d043011c].

Kudos to you for the excellent story!

Well, your corys look quite plump and healthy, so they must be getting enough to eat despite their piggish neighbor!

You've got a great looking tank too.
