If you smash the snails any of those animals will eat the remains. As far as eating them whole, that's more up the goldfishes alley.

Your goldfish love to eat snails, and the frog may but I don't think the betta will. The snails are great for helping to keep the tank clean, but can over populate in no time, if you find snail eggs in the tank just remove them or you may need a second tank just for snails.

Um, the betta might if they have been crushed. I know the clawed frog(if its not a dwarf) will eat everything you have listed(except the fly trap, which, no, will not eat snails).
We used to have a snail problem and we would crush them against the side of the tank and the angel fish would eat them like no tomorrow. They loved those things.

You've gotten lots of answers about what your other aquarium pets will eat. So instead - here's a tip to help rid yourself of lots of these pest snails at one time. Place a small dish upside down with food under it. The pest snails will dig under the gravel to get at the food. The next day just lift the dish and scoop them up with a net.

Betta - only baby snails and egg sacks, they'll eat crushed larger babies, but not big snails.
African Clawed Frog - not sure about the snails, but it'll love to eat your fish!
Rasbora - no, may peck at the babies and egg sacks though.
Goldfish - not intentionally, but they'll generally try and eat anything they can fit in their mouths, snails, rocks, rasboras, bettas...
crushed snails and mashed egg sacks all these creatures will eat.
OH and we are talking aquatic snails right?!

If you put a snail on a venus fly trap the movement will cause it to snap shut. But, snails are so slow im not sure haha!
The fish wont.
and i have not got a clue what the others are supposed to say.

It depends on the snail. Most snails eat algae, but you can also feed it blanched zucchini, carrot, or lettuce. If you get a nerite or Malaysian trumpet snail they will eat the algae in your tank. Mystery, or apple, snails are the most popular and won't eat much algae.

Funny you should ask this...My betta ate the eye stalks off of a large mystery snail I had. my dwarf african clawed frog practically survives off of pond snails. and my girlfreids fancy gold fish is eating ponsnails from egg to adult size. and some species of pond snails are capable of swimming through the picture plant because of their slim they are protected from the digestive juices of the plant...as for a venus fly trap...I am not shure how strong a snail would be in relation to the flytrap's grasp. dont know for shure.

Sorry, I don't know about your particular pets- but Chickens do eat snails. I know this, because my girlfriend has some chickens, and they love to have us turn over logs or move heavy objects outside, because they can often find worms or other insects to eat there.

Bettas do eat snails sometimes but so do these fish on the website.
A$h!
