Zebra Snails

[paddy2k7]

ive had a few different types of snails over the year, i find the a nice addition to my tank. however after maybe a week they always seem to die, they dont seem to be eaten so what may be killing them. I was also wondering what types of cichlids eat snails. Any information appreciated

cheers paddy

Copper perhaps?

Anything aggressive will probably try to eat snails..

Are you feeding them algae wafers? Or anything?

The problem depends toatally on what species your keeping. If its a nerite snail, chances are its a feeding problem; they need algae to survive and cant really be fed on anything elce. If its an apple snail, could be anything really.
