While larger groups are preferred, I've successfully kept them in pairs and trios. IME though both queens and yoyo will eat MTS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Yes some cichlids do enjoy the occassional snack of snails, or at least mine always did And the puffers, will eat snails, but aren't they brackish and supposed to be kept in a single species tank? hml "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

They leave my glass catfish, von rio tetras, harlequin rasboras, dwarf frogs,white clouds, cochus blue tetras, striped raphael catfish, and blue rams entirely alone( 3 different tanks, 2 with dwarf puffers). The only thing they bother is the snails.

trystianity Mega Fish Posts: 1028 Kudos: 926 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	Lots of people eat snails, especially French people. They taste pretty good actually with lots of garlic butter and mushroom caps and cheese. Applesnail.net has a page of apple snail recipes too. http://applesnail.net/content/various/eating_snails.htm And a random picture I found amusing: From: http://www.allfunpix.com/picspages2/escargot.html[/font] EDIT: btw, here is a good on topic link you might find helpful from applesnail.net about snail eradication. Very cool site in general, who knew there was so much to learn about snails? http://applesnail.net/content/various/eradication.htm Last edited by trystianity at 05-Jul-2005 04:32
