I have a new tank set up and have some White Clouds in it and I came home the past two days to see the Snail eating fish. Sucked the eyeballs right off. are these fish dying and he's just getting ahold of them or is he attackign them? It is the first cycle of a new tank so I am expecting to lose some of these fish but not to a snail.
 
I doubt the snails would be capable of killing a fish, so it is most likely that the fish died and the snails eat the bodies. They don't call them scavengers for nothing :/
 
:D *imagines her snail tryin to catch a fish* hahahaa :rofl:

i'm sorry :) yeah i think he was just picking at the dead body, he's not the murderer!
 
I agree, the snail's just eating the already dead fish. Dead fish often become feasts for others things in the tank. When I find dead fish at work, they're always covered with little snails. By the way, sorry for your loss. It'll get better.
