The waters where the shellies come from don't support many plants, and therefore I doubt the type of snails you're talking about. Shellies don't hunt snails and then take over their shells; they find the already empty shells and use them for safety and breeding. The type of shells most frequently associated with shellies are neothauma. If you have snail problems, what size tank is it and what stock do you already have? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
