Simian Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Would suggest cleansing them like you would if you were some frenchy eating em :sick: The gut may have something nasty in it, depending on what they are eating. Put them in a container with carrot, when their poo is orange, they have passed anything they ate before collection. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURN Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Your fish could get worms ? as the snails will might intake worm eggs etc while feeding ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee2 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 everytime when I flip rocks ova to search if there is any worms, more likely to reap snails (the shell-less ones) rather than worms. that wud be awesome if the snails can possibly be fed to fish, any concludes :sage: ?

Caryl Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 :smot: but I know someone whose oscar loved banana and would eat at least half a day. He got real stroppy if she turned up in the fishroom without greeting him and then offering him banana 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
