Can i keep snails with my betta fry?

Question

i have ivory mystery snails and the bottem of my fry tank needs to be cleaned desperatly. I have 3 of them

will the snails eat the fry that are laying on the bottem

the fry are only 1 week old, and the snails are about an inch long.

Answer 1

Yes,add the snails...they`ll help keep everything clean and won`t harm your fry or water quality at all.

Answer 2

Yes, the snails will eat everything that doesnt get out of the way.

Answer 3

I have a tank full of betta fry, like you, except mine are older. I'm not sure if the snail had anything to do with it, but I added a blue mystery snail to the tank to help keep it cleaner and a few days later my fry came down with fin rot >.< so I would reccomend doing more vaccuming and don't add the snail. You don't know what's in the water from the snail.

Answer 4

If you spawned in a 10 gallon like you were supposed to..

then you should be fine for a few weeks until the fry grow bigger.

DO NOT add anything else to the tank, there is not enough if any filtration to take on any more waste/ammonia this might possibly kill your fry.

You should have done a water change BEFORE they became free swimming....

But if you must change water, Please do so into a bucket and use a bright light to spot any fry that got sucked out.

You should not be over feeding.

I take a small peice of egg yolk, and put it in a small container with water, shake it up and let only the small peices out and I put in about 1 teas. two to three times a day.

they are doing really good on it.
