I have given Lil' Fish (SAP) severals snails to help file down his/her teeth, but I dont think they are even being touched. I have however noticed scratch marks on my tank.
Is there any way that I can get Lil' Fish to eat the snails and not the tank? Thanks!

It's gross, but try crushing the snail up then throwing it into the tank.lil fish wrote:I have given Lil' Fish (SAP) severals snails to help file down his/her teeth, but I dont think they are even being touched. I have however noticed scratch marks on my tank.

Re: Snails and Teeth
I tried everything with my SAP's, even crushing the snails, and nothing seemed to interest them. Unfortunately their teeth have had to be clipped by hand.
