Hi all,
A few days ago I picked up 3x Yellow rabbit snails to put in my shrimp tank. They seem to be settled in but some of them spend an awful lot of time not really moving with their heads partially out of the shell, moving their head every so often.
So far they haven't touched any food I've added to the tank (kale, green beans, and spinach) so I am a little concerned. My tank has loads of algae/biofilm and my shrimp don't really accept much that I put in the tank either. Is algae enough for yellow rabbits? Am I doing anything wrong? I've just tried making a batch of snello using some baby food, crushed up cuttlefish bone in a mortal and pestle, some spirulina, 5-leaf-mix shrimp pellets, various green veg pureed and gelatin added as suggested by various online reading I've been doing. I'll have to see how that goes but any advice you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. My main concern is that I don't want to be under-feeding them but as I say at the moment they don't really seem interested in anything I put in for them.
Many Thanks
