You really don't need such special food for them. US is always behind in the hobby. But not as bad as canada. I feel sorry for them.

i know you don't but i like to rotate foods every day or so so they can get a ballanced diet and perhaps the hikari have some thing in it the most other foods don't,.. just to safe most of mine eat jello, crabcusine, and catfish pellets, and what ever i can find for them,..

Funny last I heard they were shutting down....
They still can not get the info right on the assassin snails even after I sent them a link to not only my article but several others.

I've got the crab cusine from hikari that works well though I've got a line on the Bee food from Nisso...
Yeah, they did shut down apparently, Sounguru but due to popular demand, they decided to reopen.

Nothing new. They used to mis-ID everything like crazy.

Thanks. How much would I put in a 40 gallon tank with 2 snails? I plan on adding 2 more snails later.

Now that I think about it the bottle maybe bigger than 500ml.... been awhile since I bought one but either way I would but say 5ml per 10 gal once a week. I just mix it in with my jello so I have never put it straight in the tank. May have to give that a try and see how it works.
I need to go pick up a new bottle soon since it is time for more jello....:)
