I recently added 3 bumblebee snails to my 24gal tank because my nephew who is 3 fell in love with them at my LFS. I guess I wasn't thinking they could do much harm and I figured why not.
I started doing more research on them when I got home (I know that's a little backwards) but it looks like I've seen some reports of them eating Zoas. I haven't seen them around my one zoa frag yet but Im now concerned I've introduced a predator to my tank. It also looks like they prey on other snails but only in times where food is short. Does that mean with ample food they will stay to themselves? They are easy enough to pick out if need be.
Also tonight I did see one cozied up to my mushrooms and now Im wondering if it's having a snack of that.... Has anyone had any experience with bumblebee snails?
I know.... Lesson Learned! Research first... but it's a little hard when an adorable three year old is pleading for bumblebees LOL
