Snails/ Endlers

[dvanv]

I tried to put six baby briggs in a 20 gallon long tank with my endlers and the endlers were forever picking at them. Did anyone ever keep the two species together in peace?
I finally took all the snails out and put them in my community tank and they are doing fine. Maybe I will try again since they are much bigger.

I've never seen ramshorns having any problems with my Endlers, I wish they would at least slow them down on breeding a bit.

Ditto Toddnbecka mine don't seem to bother the rams or the bladders snails in either of my endler tanks.

i thinks cause they were new that they thought they were food, try putting them in at feeding time or after lights out,.. and feed as usual,.. endlers and guppies try to eat anything till they get used to them,..lol

I will try once again at night and see what happens. I felt so bad since they stayed in their shell all day.
Thanks for the answers.

My guppies initially picked the snails at first when I introduced the fish but they stopped eventually. The new generations have become so accustomed to be in company with snails that they ignore the snails completely although they sometimes harass the snails to get their share of food.
