Hey Guys

Would a Simese Fighter be ok in a Snail breeding tank or will it eat the snail eggs?

I wouldn't be worried about the eggs; the betta might eat the snails (or just nip them to death), or it will gorge itself on the snails' food (which is really bad for the fish). If this isn't the case, then it should be fine - just make sure to keep up with the water changes, since snails are really messy. You'll also need a heater, unlike you would with just snails.

Thx LGP

Ive seen a few fighting fish the other week in a shop but they look like there tails are to long for them, it makes them swim funny. Where are these fish in the wild i bet they get eaten alot.

The wild ones don't look like the domestic ones

I had to take mine out of my snail tank because he ate the snails, even the huge ones, and always ate the eggs. It works for some, and not for others. It's really just a hit or miss thing.

Oh yeah they breed them like that, i don't think the fish would like tails that silly.

I would go with Junior Santos or that guy who pwned Lesnar.

Hey CoCoPuffs I'm talking about a Simese Fighter Fish not human fighter

It's not advised to keep any fish in a snail breeder

I left several young crayfish in a snail tank, they were completely assimilated.
