There are 3 Mystery Snails living in my old SAP tank that will soon house one of my GSP's. I have 3 tanks I can move them to...
...5 gallon Cherry Shrimp tank
...1.5 gallon snail breeding tank
...what will soon be P-Nuts(Congo) tank

I would rather not put them in my breeder tanks (1.5 & 5 gallon). Has anyone tried keeping mystery snails with a Congo? She pays not attention to the ramshorns I dropped in there.

It certainly would'nt hurt to try. best case scenario the snails live, worst case scenario: they become lunch. but being that they are not expensive it wouldnt hurt to just try it. every congo will act differently and no two are exactly the same

I agree with Frog

Believe it not, my Congo never touched snails. As a matter of fact, a giant apple snail was her only tank mate for many months before it died.

Well that didn't work!!! Lol! I thought she was leaving them alone...boy was I wrong!!! One was climbing the glass last night and it had 6 bites taken out of it's foot . I have a guppy tank now anyways, I moved them to that.

Poor snaily!

It is sad...we really love our snails. Our oldest, Gary won't even come all the way out of his shell now. I have yet to be able to see his damage. The guppy's pick on them too, nipping at their antenna. Should I put melafix in the water to help them heal? They are now in my feeder guppy tank...would the Melafix be okay for the fry and is it okay to feed p-nut the guppy's if they are from the tank with melafix in it?

Should be fine, use at 1/2 dose.
