In the tanks where they DO NOT thrive, do you have African dwarf frogs?
Mine eat snails.... any kind, any size....

Wow - that's strange! I've got three dwarf frogs at home with 3 large
snails
and they just completely ignore them (so far anyway!). Maybe it's because
the snails are bigger than the frogs


My frogs try without success to eat my snails...they just end up bouncing
off the shells. I did notice a few days ago that my *ghost shrimp* were
plucking baby snails out of the gravel and sucking them dry. I had never
heard of that before, so it was kind of strange to watch.
