thumpersalley Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ever since I have set up my 10 gallon tank I have had horrible luck with snails & shrimp. Almost all of them die. Any ideas? Coral & fish are doing great! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy-S Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 enough copper to kill snails is enough to kill corals as well. Two things to think about one most snails if they fall on there backs onto the sand will die unless you flip them back over. Second shrimp like cleaners and blood should be directly fed once or twice a week with a small chunk of raw sea food to keep them fat and happy! just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
