Mystery Snail (pomacea bridgesii) and RCS fry

GlassCat594 · 09-11-2009, 01:00 AM

Can I keep 2 Mystery Snails (pomacea bridgesii) and RCS fry in the same (10g) tank?

From what I have read it sound like it will be okay but I wanted to get some feedback as it does not hurt to hear peoples past experiences.

Please share any experiences with RCS fry and p. bridgesii in same tank.
Thank you all in advance

So i have been watching them for a while and the snail does NOT eat small shrimp. The shrimp are not scared they ride on the snails sometimes.

The snails do eat alot and sometimes bully the shrimp. This is what is going to be a problem keeping them all fed.

They are cool to watch and a cool addittion to the tank.

Shrimp are scavengers that require very small amounts of food. Even if the snail hogs the food, the shrimp should find what they need.
