Do you have any fish in the tank? The snail won't eat the ghost shrimp. I don't know what the crazy lady with poor internet ettique is talking about. She probably had them in a tank with other fish and the fish ate the ghost shrimp. The snail and the ghost shrimp alone together is just fine tho. I have 2 large snails and 3 ghost shrimp in my community tank and they have all been in there for over a year.
Good luck,
Lucke

i think of the snail has died and the fish have made a meal of it. they only stay a definite time so they might have long gone to snail Heaven. The snail if that's lifeless shouldn't in all probability scent lots until it has Oxygen interior the encompassing subject quite if that's small. From my experience with aquariums and so on the snail seems to tutor to a gel substance after demise and if the fish can attain into the shell they'll suck it out. Snails as they advance, generally do no longer discard their shell, they only build on it internally to strengthen it.

NO. But ghost shrimp, on the other hand, may eat snails, just like crayfish which even eat earthworms and sauceless spghetti and bread...

The snail will only eat the shrimp if it dies.

You sure can. Those two will be just fine together and will not bother each other in the least. Have fun with them.
