Did your SAP eventually search out the snails and start eating them or did you have to encourage him with the tweezer-dangling method or anything similar? Just wondering as I have just acquired two (one to go to my sister once I know they are all eating ok) today and they are going nuts at the side of the tank, (despite loads of interesting things for them to explore :roll: ). They did take a short look at a snail I put on the side of the tank they are in love with at the mo... but decided not to attempt eating.. (the snail has escaped somewhere now). They did eat a bit of bloodworm later on though...

i hadn't fed him when i went to the lfs for some plants and got some snails too, i just dropped them in, he followed one right the way down then attacked it as soon as it hit the bottom. He swam around another for a bit then decided to leave it, but there were 5 or 6 i dropped in, and i aint seen any since, even with a thorough investigation, so i'm guessing he just hunted them when he was hungry.

And now he's learned to beg for food lol, never used to be bothere when i was about the tank until he saw bloodworms, now as soon as i go near the tank, even when it's not feeding time, he swims to the front, and earlier as soon as i lifted the top he came right up to me and waited heh.

I'm falling in love!! :D

Excellent, cool, thanks for the reply. I'll try feeding 'em again today. They should be hungry and want some snail goodness. And hopefully they will be as keen as your SAP :)
