Ramshorn snails in GSP tank
Can I put multiple live ramshorn snails in the tank with my young (<2in.) GSP and let them breed in his tank or will he eat them all on the first day they are in his tank?

My gsp at that size attacked the snails, but was unable to eat them... I had to crush them up a bit first. He might also stuff himself to death if he has too many snails available. Perhaps breed them in a smaller separate tank?

Not only that but the salt in the BW will quickly burn the snails.
