So I bought some Columbian Ramshorn snails (Marisa Cornuarietis, not the normal ramshorn). They are beautiful but can't go into my main tank because they are notorious plant-eaters. I have them in my 5g which is a quarantine tank. They don't seem to be eating the food I offer them, like fresh veggies and algae wafers. I think they are living off the biofilm. Does anyone keep these? What do you feed yours?
Try boiled spinach. It’s softer, so they might like it more.
Snails like protein as well as vegetables. Try feeding them some of the sinking pellets and wafers used to feed catfish. Most of those products contain some type of shrimp.
When I drop some of the shrimp wafers into my tank to feed the Corys, it does not take long for my snails to locate them and swarm all over the wafers.,
I'll try spinach. They've had courgette and boiled cabbage but neither of those were a hit.
I put in some rephasy bottom scratcher, and they weren't interested. These are the pickiest snails I've had! They are still growing so they much be getting some nutrients. I did throw in my plant trimmings from my main tank, and I believe they ate those.
These are the pickiest snails I’ve ever heard of! The usual problem is trying to get them to stop eating
