Polys safe with snails?

[teohha]

Are my poly sens safe with snails? My tank is infested with tiny snails, and i figure that since I can't put any plecos or algae eaters, I would let the snails deal with some of the algae. Just like to be sure that snails will not feast on the slime coats.

I never seen snails eating my fish's slime coat. They may become a snack for your sen though

possibly the other way around but if you find a monster-ultra-awesome-monster-fish-eating snail I want some right now!

your thread title might go the other way around.

Hahaha... thanks for the feedback guys. My poly sens don't seem to be interested in escargot.

some snails dont clean your glass, but instead, they left their slimes all over it, ie golden snails.

Malaysian Trumpet snails are very good for keeping your substrate fresh and constantly turned over.

Was checking on my sens last night and noticed a snail crawling on top of it. Not sure if it was eating slime or ermm.. coating slime. I am not too worried, because my sens easily flicked the snail away when it decided to move. Will keep a close watch just in case though.
