    Maybe your snails are the mean ones!! I bet at night when your fish are sleeping they come out and harass them...hehehe

    Lol, I never thought about that!! Maybe it's retaliation. Hmmm...now I'll have to do some deep thinking and ponder this...

    I must make sure I punish the truly guilty party! ;)

    I think judge KC should hold fishy court. The justice system never fails!! (at least for saltwater tanks)

    :LolLolLol Definately do not add garlic to your snails. Fish love that stuff. The jury is still out on adding butter to the tank.

    Do you have a sump that you could transfer the rogue fish to for a few days?

    best bet is just see if you can stuff him full of food, if he's gorged he shouldn't go after your snails, I know the worst fish I had on going after snails was a undulated trigger, he'd just grab them and ram them into the rocks/glass until the shell broke then eat the snail, was really annoying, not only did it get expensive but it was really annoying to listen to

    Awww poor snails. We put them through so much!

    Unfortunately, I don't have a sump. When I got back home tonight I didn't see any newly murdered snails, so hopefully he chilled out. I'm about to feed the fish, and I'll make sure to stuff him!

    We shall see!!
