Hi. I've decided to get myself a pair of axolotls. I have been removing my fish from their soon to be home to another tank. I have 2apple snails that I don't want to move to the other tank as it is planted and they take a fancy to them lol.Can I keept he snails in with the axolotls or will they become food?The axolotls are about 3 inches long and the snails a a good inch and a quarter/half

If everyone's axies are like mone, then a snail wouldn't last long enough to cause that type of problem. They have ferocious appettites

Hi, have you got your axies yet? I think theyre great pets, a combination of cute, fascinating and ever so slightly weird!

I've not tried anything in the tank with mine but i have heard that axies will eat snails (and pretty much anything else that will fit into their mouths!) but i've also heard that snails can damage axis if they manage to end up attached to them they can damage the skin and especially the eyes but i've never experienced that so no idea if thats fact or just hearsay i'm afraid.

Good luck with your new pets

I believe that Axies would eat snails, but it depends on the size of the snails in comparrison to the axies really.

I think I would seperate if I could because I'd be worried not only about the snails, but also the axies if they eat the snails then struggle to digest the shell.
