10 Week Old Cory Fry

[flumpit2]

hi all,i was wondering if it would be ok to put some malaysian trumpet snails in with my 10 week old pepper cory fry to help keep the tank & sand abit cleaner?would they hurt my fry (exspecialy the runt one) or stop them from getting enough food etc?also would they climb out of a tank without a lid?

didnt know if i should post this here or in the Invertebrates, Amphibians & Aquatic Reptiles Forum,so if iv posted it in the wrong place sorry!!!

thanx

I don't think you need to worry about them climbing out of the tank as they tend to stay in the substrate unless there is a problem with your water then they come right to the top of the tank (personal experience) I don't think your cory fry will have problems competing with the trumpet snails for food either but I could be wrong! My six cory fry are in with my male betta two bn's, some emerald eye rasboras and a couple of trumpet snails and they are doing fine! They've been in there nearly two weeks now (can't remember how old the fry are but they are younger than yours I think)
