Question

can i feed my snails goldfish flakes????? please answere cheers! xox

Answer 1

If you want to give them a treet, toss in a piece of lettuce or greens. Weight it down if need be but do not allow it to remain in the tank more than 4 days.
Yes they will eat goldfish flakes.

Answer 2

The snails will eat them once they sink, or they learn how to siphon them by crawling to the top of the tank during feeding time. But you may need to put quite a bit of flakes in so your snail gets his share, and this may make your fish overeat. At the very least, you may need to clean your tank more often.

A sinking food would be better for them, or give them some fresh veggies you can weight down like lettuce or squash or cucumber slices. See the secion on "feeding" under "care" on this website: http://www.applesnail.net/

And if your snail is something besides an apple snail, see this link: http://www.fishpondinfo.com/snail2.htm

Answer 3

You can, but a sinking food is better for them. They seem to luv zuchinni and leafy greens. You are probably going to have to stick some flakes in your fingers, then bring you fingers to the bottom of the tank so the snails get some food.

Answer 4

Snails eat leftover foods,they eat flake food,lettuce and all veggies.But,all fish including snails love live bloodworms than any other non-living processed food.

Answer 5

Snails like to eat live plants so keep some in your tank. You can also feed them lettuce too but if it floats, it's hard for them to feed on; you have to keep it submerged.

Answer 6

smails eat any left over food if your worried put a sinking wafer in nightly maybe two but rememeber the more food the more snails you end up with
