Snails are small inverts and do not need to eat much. They are scavengers and will eat algae, and any other small things they can find your fish tank. Snails are a great edition to any tank and the need little if any care!

You can supplement their diet with algae wafers, and small pieces of blanched zucchini and lettuce. Very minimally.

What do you feed snails that have no fish in the tank?

If there is algae (the green stuff) on the tank, or objects in the tank, then you don't need to feed them at all. If not, depending on the size of the snail, you can get algae "chips" that the snails will feed on. Here's a site that can help.

What should you feed a mollusk snail you find in the river?

be sure to place the snail in a fresh water tank, for starters. But snails eat algae! You know, the green stuff that grows in your tank? they have a special thing called rahh or something that allows them to eat plants. If you have more than one snail, be careful! The snails can quickly breed and overrun your tank! but if you keep the water levels high, they'll be less likel to breed. Also, fish can eat the snails. but anyways, leave your tank in the sun and the snail will eat the algea. Don't let too much algae grow! also, i think my snail eats some crud on the bottom of the tank.

I never specifically feed my black mystery snail. I feed the fish and just figure the snail will get it's food from the algae growing in the aquarium. I've had the snail over a year without a problem. It just hatched out about 50 babies too, so it seems to be doing well.
