clownbaby Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I imagine this is safe and a good snack as a live food, but I just wanted to be sure. Having some bladder snails hitchhike on my plants, I now have hundreds of itty bitty baby snails all over my tank (despite manually removing eggs like everyday and slowing down feedings ðŸ˜), but that is honestly okay! They're really cute. My pygmy corydoras keep eating the smallest ones off the glass though. I don't have a problem with this (good population control!) but I did want to know if this is safe / if it would cause any problems. Does anyone have any input? I would guess it is totally fine but I just wanna check 🙂 Thanks everyone!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 While I have never witnessed corydoras eating an entire snail including the shell, I commonly crush snails on the aquarium glass and my breeding groups of corydoras rush to them and eat them. I wouldn't imagine it being a problem for them consuming the shell as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If they’ve been doing this, and you haven’t seen anything bad happen, I would assume it’s not an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W. Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 My Cory’s grab the snail. Then after a while, they spit the shells out and Im left to clean up the snail shells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
