Feeding Escargots? (the Kind For Human Cossumption)

[yvez9]

Would it be good for the fish? i mean, it's just a big snail and they're kept in cans with water so they don't dry.

plus they cost like 1$ for 24. would it be safe for the fish?

As long as they don't have oil on them-I assume they'd be fine. I feed canned snails (sold for lizards) to my loaches and they love it.

why not get live ones? they breed like crazy

To breed them you would need a separate tank though because any snail eater would just eat all the snails so none would be able to breed.

As long as they aren't treated with oils or flavorings they should be okay but a lot of escargot is pre-prepared when you buy it.

well, you wouldnt need a tank. all you need is a bucket with a cover with air holes

all right
i'll use a 1.5 gallon tank i have and fill it with snails and food
