Snail Food?

[bmonki]

we have some nerite snails arriving tomorrow - (1x zebra 3x bumblebee) and i was just wondering if i need to get them anythig specific to eat? i dont want them to finish all the algae ad be hungry!

at the mo we have algae wafers, pleco tablets, bloodworm and normal flake... will they like any of that?

p.s apologies for typos, my laptop keyboard is tempremental

Hi Bmonki

As above realy. I have 4 snails (2 zebra nerite and 2 golden apple) and have never fed them anything. They keep the sides clean and "hoover" anything up left ny the fish, so I wouldn't worry about them!!

Dead easy to keep!
