I accidentally drop a crashed snail back in to my tank while trying to removed it. To my horror, my shrimp near the spot all went to feast on the poor snail, they are willing to forgo their favourite blood worm for the snail!!

For the past days, i had been dropping crashed snail back for the shrimp to eat. I was wondering whether i should continue to feed them with snail or not? Will there be any side effect like spread of disease?

Dun worry, shrimps are scavengers by nature and will eat lots of food, i think variety is the key. Snails will eat dead snails readily too, really handy in cleaning up aint them!
