Snails with Goldfish2007-11-24 23:40:01

Should I put snails in the same tank with my goldfish?

Answers:

The ammonia that goldfish excrete will kill the snails. That being said aslong as you do regular partial waterchanges, snails do a good job cleaning up algae and excess fish food however snails themselves poop alot too.

Yeah its ok but you need to clean it more often.

---

OF course.. snails are good for fish tanks.. they help keep it clean.. not only the fish doo doo but also the sides of the aquariam

---

they will be fine. snails also keep tank glass clean only problem is when a snail dies..its like a dead jelly fish

---

snails breed WAY to fast and WAY to much. Even if you have one they will have babies. That happened to me before. I say get an algae eater, or something else. Eventually too many wil kill your fish.

My teacher had snails in his fishtank, eating algae, so yeah

---

I think it would be alright.Snails are good algae eaters.Good luck.

---

Yep! =) I have a 10gal aquarium full of goldfish and 2 snails, which do a great job with the algae, and are fun to watch!

---

Put big ones in, bigger than the goldfishes mouth or they will just eat them. They are a great addition to a tank as they clean up a lot of waste and keep the glass clear.

---

the amonia that the goldfish puts of will kill the snail so i dont think so.

We have snails in ours, they help keep the tank clean.
