Wahikki Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 4 Votes: 39 Registered: 09-Jun-2006   | I got a black mystery snail and it rang up on the receipt as a crustacean, but in biology class I've learned that snails are molluscs. i was reading my bottles of aquarium chemicals, and they all said don't use with crustaceans, Regarding fish chemicals, are snails crustaceans or molluscs? |

Nearly all fish meds kill snails, shrimp, and other inverts. Remove them from the tank before treating. |
