Schuyler Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I don't see how it would be that different from spinach or kale Is there something specific about it that makes you nervous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 I’ve never had it before either @TeeJay. I was just trying a new recipe and it called for this ingredient. @Schuyler I just don’t like putting things in my tank if I don’t know it has been tried before or what effect it would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it would be good for them. Lots of magnesium and other minerals. If it makes you feel more comfortable, my garden snails love it. Wish they didn't... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I would bet that they would go fo it. You may have to blanch it for a few seconds before putting in the tank to soften. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Yes Swiss chard is fine. I got mixed reactions with it. Half liked it half never went to it. At the time I had a betta and my betta liked it because it was soft. My betta was always afraid he was missing out on some thing though so I’m not sure if he ate it just so nobody else could eat it or if he ate it because he liked it😂 Edited November 16, 2022 by Guppysnail 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Update: they (the snails & the betta) didn’t really like the chard. The snails ate a little and ignored the rest. Geppetto (betta) ignored it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 To add to this thread, I offered kale recently. Only one out of six mystery snails was interested. She finished it, but I will probably will not offer kale again. We need to please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) At this point I feel like snails really are picky ngl 😄 They all seem to like something different. Which makes feeding a tank even harder. I found the success on snellos when I limit the veggies with what they ALL love and by observing their behavior versus every veggy I drop to the tank each day. You are right. We have to please everyone. On 1/17/2023 at 12:18 AM, Chick-In-Of-TheSea said: To add to this thread, I offered kale recently. Only one out of six mystery snails was interested.

They literally avoid the snello in total if I add stuff like broccoli. 😄 If you have never tried Collard greens, give it a try!

Kind of considered a staple. Community fave is carrots! I boil them a good while until they are very tender. Baby carrots are the easiest thing. No chopping! Be forewarned though: orange food results in orange poops! 🤣 Tagging @A3M0N who is catering to snails also!
