One of my cardinals just ate a baby snail. Don't know how it got it out of its shell tho.

Ah stop eating the assassins' food.

Also my nerite keeps climbing into the back chambers of my biocube.....
 
Which snail was it? Baby MTS and bladder snails seem to get gobbled easily, even including their shells. Baby apples on the other hand have shells harder than the newborn MTS but MTS are smaller for the most part. If it was the MTS, they sometimes expose their body tissues thus are unsuspectingly grabbed by the fish before they even lock up.
