Niger Trigger / Snails / Cleaner Shrimp

[mattsilvester]

Small niger trigger (2" or so) - will they actively hunt and eat snails and cleaner shrimps. I suspect habbits learned small will transfer into adulthood.

The snails in question are quite large. Over 1.5" in diameter / 1.5" tall.

I know there's no gaurantees - I mean generally.

If they were there first possibly not. It's a 50/50 shot.

Mine would snack on an occasional snail or hermit. Then one day, in his adulthood, he went serial killer on all shrimp in my tank. I don't recommend that you invite that kind of dissapointment into your tank :/

Those large snails will be safe for a long time..
