Self multiplying snails

[Gsxrownr]

I jus got some of those snails that multiply like crazy and I was jus wondering what all eat these, I know the clown loaches do but are cichlids suppose to eat them too?

 

[Oscarr19]

Some will or there Is a type of snail that will eat other snails. I'm not sure if the name but I'm sure a quick google search will solve that.

There are snails that eat other snails, they are called assassin snails.

 

[Gsxrownr]

And u can get these assassin snails from LFS?

 

[Oscarr19]

Yea you should.

 

[Gsxrownr]

Ok thanks I'll look into that, and if i want some of them to live, do u know if the fish suck them out of the shell or if they eat the whole thing?

 

[Badman85]

The assassin snails only eat the actual snail, you will have to take out the shells.

 

[Badman85]

You should be able to get them from you're lfs. If not try online.

my jack dempseys eat pond and ramshorn snails as soon as they are dropped in.

 

[Gsxrownr]

Ya I dropped a few in and they pretty much got eaten right away even tho I fed them before I dropped the snails in, I jus want them to live long enough to multiply and give the tank a cool lively look
