Betta fish and zebra snails. Can betta fish can live with snails. I have a 10 gallon tank with a baby betta fish and recently added 4 zebra snails to the tank. Is the tank size too small for both to be together in.

I ve been told that bettas and zebra snails play well together but i was wondering if it would be acceptable to put 1 zebra snail in the 5 5 gallon with my betta. Yes but just make sure they are freshwater snails like zebra nerite and mystery snails. I just don t want to increase the waste load beyond what a 5 5 gallon can.

As prolific algae eaters the zebra snail needs adequate food source. The nerite is a species of small freshwater snail that grows to just over an inch in diameter as an adult making the nerite snail with betta fish a perfect space companion. Snails make a great addition to your fish tank and are very much pretty and useful.

Keep reading to learn how your betta fish and snail can live as mates. Keeping zebra snails with bettas is a strong recommendation and if you can find them at your local pet store you must buy them because they will make great companionship with your bettas. My betta is curious and keeps pestering and snapping at the snails here and there.

Zebra snails do not reproduce uncontrollably like other breeds of snails.
