Buying a nassarius snail

[cody2cannon]

So other than than the snail itself what type of food has everyone had success with? Other than my meaty pellets for mu clown?

Don't they eat debri they find in the sand? I guess you could use algae wafers too big for the fish to eat but the snail can get to or any other sinking pellets and any other leftover foods.

Nassarius are easy to keep, make sure you have enough sand for them to bury themselves and they'll eat whatever you feed your tank.

Like leftover fish food not regular food. Just read it again and realized it sounded strange.

Oh man, that looks pretty upsetting. If I caught one of mine doing that it would be out of the tank. Come to think of it, some of my acans haven't been doing great. I better schedule a night watch soon...

My got back to the shop. After one month blastomussa started to show skeleton and melted away just 4 small baby left. I put them into the glass in my tank and feed them every day. Now they are big and very happy. I forgot, I got another blastomussa to the company after snaill was gone to the shop and new blast did the same in few weeks- start to show skeleton and melted just baby left. Curious, spread some disease from first one or bad look???
