Is there any snail that can get along with a GSP?

Post by eccen »

I am wondering if there is any snail that can live with a GSP.
I have 1 gsp in a 30g tank and it seems... empty heh.

Would the GSP try to poke and eat all the snail alive? (even the big ones???)

Mine even managed to overturn and kill a turbo snail. Nerites are the only possibility, I think.

yeah, I got a couple of nerites to live with my adults...but they will eventually get eaten. That's kind of like asking if any french fry will survive at my house...

I've got HUGE black mystery snails in with my puffer (or I had) eventually Shuo got big enough to actually pick them up and toss them off of the walls to get attention. He'd crack them with his beak. (Never managed to break the shells though)

Nerites have thicker shells but if the puffer turns it over...
