Solstice_Lacer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Does anyone have experience keeping danios with mystery snails? Any problems with them picking at tentacles or eyes? The tank will be a planted 25 gallon and they will be the only occupants. Is there a best species of danio to keep with mystery snails? My top 6 considerations are Zebra danios, pearl danios, rose danios, gold ring danios, celestial pearl danios, or white cloud minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 My Celestial danios are great with them. My zebra non stop tentacle nipped until one nipped the end off. I felt the need to rehome them because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have danios and mystery snails together now? I was wanting to put gold ring danios (if I can find them) and celestial danios with a mystery snail and wondered the same thing.

I never did put any together. I've heard gold rings and celestial are on the smaller peaceful side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) After observing many a couple day old panda guppy fry biting the flesh of a mystery snail and bothering them, I think I would approach everything with a caution, even the well known peaceful species. Even then, the character of fish within the species may affect their behavior I guess? Like I have been keeping mystery snails with my albino platinums and pingus too. They dont even care. I have spixis with my tuxedos. I have been keeping rabbit snails with red grass. And so on. You get the point. I would even hesitate to say guppies are fine for mystery snail and generalise it after keeping 7 different guppy species with different snail types Edited October 29, 2023 by Lennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
