Hello friends, I've recently become fascinated with snails. I've got a few mystery and nerites in my tank with a couple juvie chocolate cichlids and they ignore them completely. I know as with aggression and territorial issues, a lot can change from specific fish to fish temperament, and one day they might just realize that there are yummy snacks crawling around them. But it got me curious as to what other fish are snail safe, or relatively so.
I have a friend who keeps some with a single frontosa with no issue. Another friend said he was putting some in his severum tank, but i haven't heard the results from that trial yet. Another friend keeps a couple nerites in her betta tank.
Plenty of threads on getting rid of snails, but can't find much on people's experience with keeping them successfully with fish. So what fish have you kept snails with, and what types of snails were they?
