Reason why your Suvatti has not touched a snail is b/c they generally don't eat the snails. You do not need to feed them anything that would require to file their teeth. Buy frozen shrimps that are about 1/2-1 inch in length and if it is still to big them cut the portions smaller. There is also a bi...

From what I've read, definitely not. Otto's have a hard time when it comes to acclimation into a new tank. I would try and purchase bio-spira and hold out for 24 hours, then check your water parameters before introducing them to an uncycled tank. Even then you could still lose your Otto's
