this is not a good idea... thrust me.... because on one side, it might be great... the snail is getting free food.... on the other hand... if your fish has a disease... you don't want your snail to have it... see ? I had many Apple Snails and before I could remove dead fishes... the AS was already on it and in less than an hour, mostly half of the dead fish was dead.... so.... be careful with theses :P

Holy Crap, what kind of snail and fish is that?
Azear he probably didn't do this on purpose he just let it because it was already eating it.
That is a awesome pic.

The death was my fault, (I feel bad about it) the red tailed shark was in a 30 gallon with my mollies and I added salt. Next thing I know the shark is in trouble so I transfered it, too late.
I feel bad but could not resist the picture.
Thanks for the info, I will be carful.
