CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

do you guys think that i could put an apple snail in my tank wiht my oscar and two catfishes and blood parrot and pleco in my 75 gallon. I dont really need one i just think they are cool to watch

thanx a bunch:rolleyes:

how big is the apple snail compared to the other fish? the fish i would worry the most would be the 2 cichlids of course. if they arent that big, i would dump it in and see what happens.

well the oscar and the bloodparrot are both about 3in the two catfishes are about 6in and the pleco is 5in
thanx
c-ya

hmm, my oscar left my apples a lone. i would just get one. if it gets eaten, no harm. they're cheap anyways

ok sweet thanx

if you are getting it to cleean your tank, forget about it. If you like to watch them clean, i love that too, and they are great. lol:)

ok cool yea my tank has stayed cleaner then i thought it would with a messy oscar but i do about 20% water changes 2 or three times a week with a emperor 400 filter and this cheap little bubbler i got at meijers for 7 dollars but it stays clean I want to get a pic of my tank but my camera is kinda messed up
ok thanx c-ya:D

I've had SNAILS with O's.
And I was told by Everyone that they would do just fine.
Well for the first Couple of weeks they were fine.
They would just peck at the shells and leave 'em alone.
Until they finally figured out that when the HATCH door was OPEN the MEAT was out.
When they finally figured out after SEVERAL tries where the head was, They SUCKED the whole Snail out like Some one EATING a Blue Point Oyster, And all that was left was an EMPTY Shell.

And this was when they were ONLY about 2" and the Snails were the Size of a Quarter.
You can try it but don't be SURPRISED if you wake up one morning, And discover that Your FISH have enjoyed a Healthy Live Meal of Escargot.

But any who Good Luck....

Let me know how your Snails make out.
