I cut summer squash in half and my snails eat it in about 3 days. I almost enjoy watching my snail tank more than my fish tanks. They are so interesting. lol
Great video, Sheila! I'm an accidental snail rancher, so I have hundreds (?) of mystery snails! I provide 2-3 cuttlebones for them to graze on, and I alternate foods including: Repashy+calcium (Soilent Green or Community Plus), algae wafers (Omega One), tropical flakes or goldfish flakes (these are the most fun to watch them eat), I also have some pellet foods that I will add in sometimes. Oh! And Sera Onip tablets which I actually crush up and sprinkle on the water surface - the effect is similar to the flake food: lots of snails doing the back float! Your pinks and purples are fitting right in with the rest of my crew! In the summer I blanch some zucchini and yellow squash, which they go crazy for!
I recently bought a couple mystery snails last week at my local Pet Smart. They do well in my goldfish tank, and I have specific plants that will not be eaten by goldfish. My java fern plant was never been nipped by my goldfish and my snails.
I purchased mystery snails several months ago to eat algea in my goldfish aquarium. Found my aggressive goldfish attacking the snails. I went and made another small aquarium just for the snails They are doing so better. 🐌🐌🐌 I enjoy my happy snails.
Wow that seems so easy! I can’t wait for the snails I ordered to arrive, I already have 4 adult mystery snails and 100s of babies (just hatched a second round last week) but I really wanted to add some color in with all my blues and whites and one gold with your beautiful magenta and purple snails!
I use baby food of sweet potatoes and green beans with calcium and spurlino(sp) and gelatin. Set overnight and the next day the big snails and snabies all love it
Nice to have a dedicated video on this information. Thank you! I got 2 mystery snails because of your videos 🤗 they are so fun to watch! They love eating greens and pellets/wafers - when I’m through with that I’ll have to snag some of your snail mixture.
Thanks for the recipe! Repashy food was recommended to me since I had 3 fish chowing down on wafers that apparently expanded in their tummies pressing on their swim bladders, causing them to swim vertically. Epsom salt and blanched peas solved the problem but apparently Repashy is water soluble and won’t expand. I’m quite anxious to try it. Now I have another reason to use it!!
I have mystery snails and Japanese trapdoor snails. Been feeding the thera A+ pellets and super gold repashy, but I like the idea of mixing in vegetables and blood worms into the mix. Could do that for my goldfish too! Great video!
@@Lifewithpets72 I usually just give the goldfish blanched peas, and kale so they can graze on it. Been experimenting with other veggies to see what they like best.
I feed my snails beta and triops food they go insane for it. Algae tablets are nice but have not much nutrients. I will have to try green beens, thanks!
How often do you remove snail poop on your tank? Coz i know they poop a lot. Now I’m starting changing minds and getting my snails out of my 5 gallon tank. I have about 6 adults and 6 baby ramshorns and this morning I just saw new eggs. My guppy will arrive this week and I might put him in there with the snails but I’m also thinking about taking the snails out and put them on the breeding tank for my guppy. I’m scared of the poops causing bacterial problems on my guppy’s fins unless I do siphon them out every now and then which could also stress the fish.
I feed my snails sweet potato! It’s their favorite! I also crush some dog treats up and mix with water in a separate container, I was told it gives them some calcium, I’m going to get some cuttlebone soon but for now it’s the crushed dog treats😄
Made my first attempt to make this today, I didnt have frozen bloodworms, I had freeze dried ones I used. I mixed it up, probally too much water, but I put it in the 3 tanks, and the fish are eating it allready, they seem to love it, hopefully the snails do too.
Do you have to take them out from your tank into a smaller container when you feed them snailo? Will tank gets messy? Btw, purple color one are extraordinary loved them!
how do you keep your snail's shell so perfect!!!! I also got lots of snails and I do give them enough calcium in their diet, but their shells just doesn't look good, seems to be some kind of damage.
Hi Sheila I’m back again😂💕 but Im thinking about getting nitrite snails for my Betta tank and idk if I have to feed everything u said in this video and for calcium is there any calcium blocks or is that not recommended-love linda Ilysm
I feed mine kale an dried crushed cuttle bone. I do have repashy an Spirulina never thought to feed them that. I have American trapdoor snails 6 adults 3 babies. With my shrimp so will give this a try! Love your channel!
Thank you so much, I just received my small snail care pack in the mail! Making some now. I have a nerite snail that is losing color even though I add Seachem equilibrium and wonder shells. Hopefully this helps
I have a dried carrot I keep underneath the shelf that my tank is on It looks a little nasty on the outside but on the inside it’s a dark red I cut a slice off and feed it to my snails once a week
Will they get enough calcium if I just put a whole oyster shell in the tank? The bladder snails seem to be munching each other's shells, so I figure they can munch the oyster shell. The shell is from the river, so it's not salty. (Don't ask me why there are oyster shells in my river, it's apparently a mystery.)
I recently got a planted tank!today I JUSt noticed there are snails from the plants (we think) so here I am! Also can you feed them seed grown lentils?
I have a question and I think Lifewithpets can help me. ok, so I have a divided planted tank with two male betta fishes. And they have been trying to see each other through the little holes in the divider. and for some reason, they both created a bubble nest. I need some professional help and advice. should I add a female to one side of the tank or what.
Hi! I might be gettign a mystery snail soon! Do you put the food container in the water? I was a bit curious about that and I want to keep my baby nice and healthy! (ps, can you take the snails out in your hand?)
Once the snello sets up, take a very small piece, like the size of your pinky nail and drop it in the tank, The snail will find it quickly, if it’s eaten really quickly you can add a bit more till you know how much it will consume.. it’s good in the fridge for two weeks, and freezes well for up to six months. That amount she made if your feeding only ONE snail, would last you months. My snails get it about once a week. They love green beans
@@dianecreedon3841 hi! I'm getting a mystery snail meself in a couple weeks and will be housing it with a betta would adding the snello mess up my water levels? Thank you!
I was skeptical about adding all that calcium carbonate, but than when I saw your snails beautiful, glossy shells, I was convinced! Where can I get food-grade calcium carbonate on the cheap?
I have a Bunch of mystery snails baby, juvenile,and adults all separate by size and different tanks with a bunch off fish with them and I just had received my 12 oz bags of calcium chips and wondering if I should be worried about putting a chip in with out harming my fish
Awesome. Their shells look great. I have a hard time getting enough clacium in mine and their shells show. Gonna try this. Also, do you ever put cuttle bone in your tanks?
I’m new to the Nerite snail hobby. This recipe seems great accept I didn’t see how it’s fed tot he snails as you mentioned at the end of your video. So you throw it in the tank just like that. I’d feel it would fall apart and cause a messy tank, I think I’m lost with this video. Can anyone help please and thank you:
ok so how do you feed that mush to your snsils? do you bake it, freeze it or how do you prevent that mixture from disolving inside the tank back to its components
I dry and grind egg shells for my garden, can I feed this powder to my snails I help with calcium? Also wondering if I can feed this food to my snails who are in with my goldfish?
I have an aquarium with 5 goldfish, i recently bought some snails and I have them all together, do they feed from the aquarium or they need extra food ?
I have one betta and one nitrate snail together in a 5 gallon tank. How much of this mixture do i feed my snail and how often? Iwill buy the kit on your website
your snails might actually eat healthier than I do... I need a diet change...

At the intro I cried
Stephen Stratakos what do you feed your snails
Is this food for land snails or water snails or do they eat the same thing
Aquatic. Land snails eat different stuff but I think they like vegetables
I have garden snails with babies in my fish tank they are so cutee 😍
I just got a snail😀
Me too!
What do I do with these nails in the winter time in my backyard pond
I make calcium with eggshells it has worked for me

QUESTION - if you put snails in a larger container for them to live in, will they struggle?
They need a filtered, cycled fish tank like every other aquatic animal
I have land snail . I LOVE SNAILS MORE THAN ANYTHING!
Snails are great!
my snails prefer aubergine and basil, boiled carrots as well
What do you do? Just pick up a blob and drop it into the tank and wait for the snails to get to it?
Am I a horrible person because I used to feed them algae wafers and a cuttle bone!! I ordered ur stuff
Thank you! Not at all. A varied diet is good. What most people miss is the need for calcium.
