Snails in danger

[skrefany]

I was thinking about getting a bullhead catfish for my tank. Would my snails be in danger of getting eaten?

as far as my experience goes...bullheads eat anything you throw in the tank i just dont know if the shells on the snails would be a problem for the bullhead eating them or not

your snails would not only be in danger of being eatin, they would be in danger of being digested and pooped out in a matter of hours

haha..so far I haven't had any problems with them multiplying...no eggs or anything. They are really interesting to watch. Thanks for the heads up on the catfish!

Mystery or apple snails. Not sure which.

So they're pretty big then? As long as the snails are about the size of the fishes head I wouldnt worry much, but bulleads have pretty big mouths/heads lol

Oh no, they aren't that big yet. I've only had them for a few months. They are all about an inch across. I'm hoping they do get big though.
