What is the food source of snails and what kind of feeder are they e.g. carnivores?

Answer 1

snails are omnivors and will pretty much eat what ever edible thing falls to the bottom of their tank. They do however, prefer eating algae tablets and disks.  But don't worry, it wont eat anything alive, like it won't eat your fish if it touches the bottom!!

Answer 2

Snails will eat algae and leftover food uneaten by other fish.  They are omnivorous and like plenty of plant matter.
