However, snails are not necessary in the aquarium as they are not picky feeders and will eagerly eat a wide variety of sinking foods. They appreciate meaty frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. They also enjoy rasping on large sinking pellets and wafers. Even though they are carnivores, they do need some veggies in their diet to balance things out. Ours readily consume algae wafers as well as zucchini cut into 1\/4\" coins and stuck on a fork so it sinks.
