If you crush them against the glass, they will get eaten. I keep pond snails in all my Cory tanks for this express purpose. Free, high-protein food. The smaller the snail, the better. - Frank

Never seen my corys tackle a snail - but was considering getting shot of my apple snail eggs that appeared Sunday. Now I won't. Free is gooood

So does this mean i can get some more pond snails tommorow from my LFS? If they lay eggs how old will the snails be before i see some baby snails to crush for my corys?

Just a couple of weeks. Crush them just as soon as their large enough that you can. - Frank
