Can I keep a snail in a small water fountain?
My puffer recently died and for the last month i’ve kept a snail that used to be in the tank in a small bucked of cycled water which i occassionally fill with water. Instead of getting a small tank for it (and possibly some shrimp), i was thinking about getting one of those small tabletop water fountains to keep it in. I was wondering if this would be enough for the snail to survive?
The fountain would be next to a window in direct sunlight to promote algae and moss growth to feed the snail…
provided it is the right sort of snail. Garden snails will drown if there is nowhere for them to get out.
Ofcourse you can put a snail there
