What’s the best way to ensure snails in a fish tank are well-fed? After setting up my new aquarium, I added a few mystery snails to help manage algae growth. However, I’m uncertain if they can get by solely on the algae present, or if I should be providing them with extra food.
For those experienced with keeping snails, how do you approach their feeding? Do they thrive on what’s naturally in the tank, or do you find that adding algae wafers or blanched vegetables makes a difference? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any changes you’ve noticed in their health or behavior based on their diet.
