Which fish needs punishment??

Hi Guys

Something is eating my pretty snail and I have no idea who the culprit is. I got the snail around 2 weeks ago and he seemed fine for about a week, chillin' everywhere. Cleaning here and there, I saw him very active antennas stretched out. Now for the last week during day time he is just hiding in his shell. I thought he was dead because i never see him moving but i kept him in because each time i look at the tank he was in a different location and finally last night i saw him move. I think he still has eyes but his antennas are munched off :'( so sad.

I have:

2 x swordtails
2 x mollies
3 x guppies
1 x endler
1 x swordtail/platy hybrid
1 x angel

I personally think its the swordtails because with my previous tank i had all of the above except the platy hybrid and swordtails and that snail flourished.

What can I do? Its a very pretty snail and I don't want to get rid of it. I'd much rather get rid of the culprit fish.

Any thoughts?

He is going to a different tank now for rehabilitation.

 

I would think rather the Angel. My angles tend to pest the snails.

 

+1 the angels

 

Get rid of the snail because it is BL'ed.

 

I thought we spoke about this

 

When? I can't remember? (SMACK HEAD, "you have failed me again brain!)

Just to clarify, this would constitute the 'keeping' of a BL species, so still would not be allowed. If the thread was.... 'I have all these snails, and i want to get rid of them', or 'I was just wondering which of the above would be most likely to eat Snails?' then that would be ok. But then saying 'I really love these snails and want to keep them in my tank' is still not allowed.

I think it will take a while for us to learn the ins-and-outs of what is now allowed and what is not, but we'll get it right eventually. Awareness on our part and leniency/coaching (as Big G did above) will speed up this exercise.

Don't worry, these rules shall become more clear once they are finalised, and the new forum is in place..... Infact, the new BL forum will have a blurb for everyone to read in order to use it, kinda like the rules and conditions on signing up, but more so! Well, thats the plan anyhow!?
