same question about what to feed a snail?

Question

i asked this question yesterday but i should've put the kind of snail. it is an aquatic snail. it lives in my tropical fish tank. it's called a mystery snail. it's shell is yellow and it's body is a slight orangish color.

any help would be nice!

Answer 1

I have had the same kind of snail, and we feed him shrimp pellets along with him cleaning the algea off of our tank. He loved them and grew very big.

Answer 2

Snails are mainly herbivores so they need mostly plant matter in their diet. They do also need calcium to build and maintain their shells, so feeding vegetables high in calcium such as mustard greens, collards or broccoli is a good idea. I would suggest adding food specificall for your sanil after turning off the tank lights so that the fish are less likely to eat it before the snail finds it. Remove any leftovers in the morning.

they usually just eat the algea n stuff that grow in the tank but you can buy thses little algea wafers but mine never really ate those
