TeeJay Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Yes they will not touch the alge wafers soaked or not. I usually stick with bacter ae and a bit of fry food. I just got in some bug bites. And I'll try more repashy super green. I just got soilent green and spawn and grow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For fear of souring the water. I usually feed in the evening after work. Then the next day after work I clean out then fresh stuff usually goes in after that. Still a learning experience. I usually only suck out the stuff that looks like it is getting "fuzzy" Fuzzy if yucky and need to go. Fluffy is yummy and stays. Remember snails are mother natures clean up crew. I whole heartedly believe bacteria and biofilm growing on food is good for them. Or at least not harmful since my kids do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I get confused about algae wafers. I think the other day I put on another post that they were a good first food, according to a breeder , but then I looked back at my notes yesterday and it says that I fed them, but my guys did not eat them. I did try them whole and also broken up. They ate some later though, once they grew a bit more. I also wonder if different colored snails like different foods? Like how one type of nerite will eat vegetables and another type will not? 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the brand of algae wafer matters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
