Fish Fanatic
i just got mine yesterday and didn't expect to like a snail this much (he is a ton of fun to watch!), i want to give this guy the best care/diet possible. he is in quarantine right now (5 gallon with some floating plants and a moss ball for now) but will be going into a 10 gallon tank. I'll be getting a gh/kh test kit soon to make sure that my water is at the right specs. i've seen some different info on food and any info is appreciated! I will be making some snello at some point (when the snail is in with my future shrimp breeding colony, should happen within the next 2 months, and the snail is in quarantine for a month anyways), but for now will be feeding a mix of vegetables that have calcium (cucumbers, kale, etc) along with some normal fish pellets. another question i have is if the reptile calcium powder that i have is safe for the snail. i have read about people putting it into the water and mixing it in with some food to promote healthy shell growth (mine has a couple chips/scratches).
the ingredients of the powder: Calcium carbonate, oyster shell flour, salt, calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, ferrous fumarate, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate.
TIA!
