Betta splendens vs Ramshorn

Post by ehz_148 »

Hi all...I was just curious as to whether or not my ramshorn snail farm would be depleted by a Betta splendens (aka Siamese fighter)

that is all for now.

Thanks in advance

k, tnx. it was just a floating idea. I've spent the past few months on "it depends" with my 3 puffers. Gave 2 away only to find the 'docile' one is also a murderer and killed off tank mates that have worked for others in the past. So Tsuki is getting a little downsize of tank and will be on her own with me in my new flat. I'll just keep the snails with snails...unless anyone can come up with an idea. I have a 5g tank I'll be putting snails into. Any other kind of snail friendly fishy (other than goldfish - if that's even snail friendly) that I could add to give it a bit more life?

Snail breeding tanks should be kept as just that. It's not fair to expose a fish to the extra bio-load in such a small tank I'm afraid
