jim r Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Under normal circumstances I would say no they do not eat snails, however I do not seem to have many snails in my discus tanks for whatever reason ( it puzzles me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Under normal circumstances I would say no they do not eat snails, however I do not seem to have many snails in my discus tanks for whatever reason ( it puzzles me).
