I'm getting a couple of tigers later. I was just wondering if they can be kept with smithii and dimidiata? All of them are captive bred, the smithii and dimidiata is about 3 cm now I think and the tigers about 5 cm. I guess they can live together now but how about when they are all grown?

I keep my marginata seperate from my smaller snails because they are so heavy i think they could do damage to their more delicate house mates. Although thats just me being over cautious, most snails are actually quite hardy arent they so in reality its unlikely that they would get crushed, but dont take my word for it ive not dared to try it out. Competition for food might be an issue.

i had some young (5cm long fulica) in with the adults and one of them had it's new growth damaged by an adult squashing it into the wall. But as long as they are a failry simular size and the shells are strong i don't think there should be a problem. You could try it but keep an eye on them

I keep all my snails in the same tank and none of them ever get damaged by the others, but my biggest snail is about 10 cm and wont do much if it went on top of the other snails.
