feeding mystery snail.

[stacie]

got some "mystery" snails with a starter bunch of plants online and need to know if i need to feed them and how often. there are 3 of them. in separate tanks with 1 betta each. keep the tanks pretty clean, and bought some algae disks to break up since they are not large snails. how often should i feed them? have live plants with all and just want to make sure they don't starve. want to keep them. thanks for any help anyone can give me.

In my planted tanks I don't feed my snails. They tend to eat decaying plant material, algae and left over food and waste. If you don't think that they are getting enough food then a piece of algae waffer every week will be fine. Also lettuce, celery or spinach work great.
