    I have 4 of them in a 30g planted tank. For the past year they've eaten snails no issues. Recently my snail tank crashed and I lost the whole stock in there (daughter was "helping" feed them w/o telling me). While I get that going again, I've been throwing in tiny mystery snails and whatever...

    Help an unprepared person

    Quick back story, my stepson agreed to pet sit his brother's goldfish while their mom moved. She's refused to take them back. They came in a 29g tank. All 12 of them. The tank was disgusting and every fish had ich, fin rot, fungus, and a few where septic. I did what I could but there where heavy...
