Intresting, corydoras versus snails
Posted: 03 Jun 2008, 19:40
Hello,
Maybe I have got an interesting story to tell.
At least, I found it pretty remarkable.
As you might know I started breeding corydoras. I now got at least 300 young ones in a tank, 40-40 cm. Water stands 15cm high. They are nearly 4 weeks old.
A week ago I put 2 snails ( pomacea bridgesii) in with the baby's to clean up all the leftovers of food.
Within 1 day both the snails died. I bought 2 more snails and first put them in with adult cory's. One in each tank, 35 and 60 liters. Here there was no problem. So I put the snails in with the baby's again. And ones more within a day they died.
Could it be that the baby corydoras ad more toxins into the water when threatend?
Has somebody experienced the same when putting snails with (young) corydoras?
I put another snail in a tank with 3 adult cory's yesterday. And it is still alive.
I would like to read your experiences.
Bye!! Jacqueline
