Unfortunately I didn't even know that snails needed they're own special food. I had a couple of snail die and couldn't figure out why. I thought they were getting enough with the algae and fish food but it's not always the case. Most of my snails survived fortunately though including my very first two snails. Now between the zucchini and KatsAquatics calcium+nutrition everyone is thriving including my snails.
Sorry I don’t have a picture but I put a couple pieces of the snail food in after lights go out to reduce other tetras of getting in on the action. When the lights come on it gone. So it must be good!
I have two mystery snails, and I drop one of these in the tank every night for them. It's always gone in the morning. Their shells look much shinier and prettier.
Haven't seen much of a difference on my nerite's shell yet, but I did leave one of these in the aquarium for a few hours and the nerite has enjoyed snacking on a piece in between algae. Very neat shrimp and snail food. The amano in my nano also enjoy these.
Ordered this for my mystery snails and shrimp after hearing Lisa mention it on the live stream. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and everybody is loving it!
The snails love this food. My brother has snake bio enclosures with isopods and I noticed it's for isopods too. He tried it and said they loved it. He wants some now. So I will definitely be ordering more in the future.
So glad I discovered this fantastic food on your website! My shrimp, snails, and most of my fish go crazy for this wonderful addition to their diets. And they really thrive on it! Thanks for offering this to us!
Even snails need good supplements and this is probably one of the better ones. Try it you’ll love it. Your snail will grow larger and brighter and healthier and so cleaning your tank even better. Try it you’ll love it.
Plants and food were well packaged, shipped fast and arrived in perfect condition. I'm a repeat customer and will keep coming back. John and Lisa do a great job and are passionate about the hobby.
Thanks!!
This has been a great discovery! My shrimp and snails as well as my corys go crazy for this stuff! And even if I feed a little too much, there is no problem with it fouling the water as the shrimp eventually eat it all over a day or so. Love it!
My first experience with snails and there’s a lot to learn. I love new adventures. So let’s see where this goes. so far, I’m loving them. They are certainly interesting.
