http://forum.aqua-fish.net/ A forum devoted to aquarium fish, plants, techniques and fish keeping as a whole. en http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=snail-question#1 I have a 50 gal tank with 15 tiger barbs and one small red tailed black shark to which I recently added 5 "mystery snails". Three were gold and two were a pretty brown. They seemed very happy for several weeks, then suddenly I began finding empty shells. I only have one left. I think my other fish were too aggressive and ate them because they were fine crawling around one day then the next day gone. I have learned my lesson, but my question is this: The shells are so beautiful,; is there any harm in keeping the empty shells in the aquarium? nan6077 2012-09-12 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=snail-question#2 If you have hd no complications by now, I assume that it is OK to keep them in there... just my humble opinion! sheilakathy 2012-10-04
