Re: [GSAS-Member] spontaneous snail generation

Yup!  I'm not sure if they can bother them at full size (the clear,
flatish snails I'm talking about get to around a 1/2 cm), but they can
sure pick off the small ones.  I've also watched them dine on other snail
eggs, fish eggs, and they seem particularly fond of some sort of skinny
~1cm long nematode that has started showing up in my daphnia tanks. 
(which I kind of wish they wouldn't eat, because my fry seem to like the
nematodes as much as the daphnia).
