Feeding Suggestions
-Rubber band or otherwise tie floating foods to a plant, a rock, a hanging thermometer- anything stationary.
-Some foods can be put on a shish-ka-bob in order to keep the foods in one area and possibly so it doesn't float. This works best in a large tank.
-Put a small amount of water & some harder foods (carrots, etc.) in a small saucepan abd boil them to soften.
-Freeze food and then thaw and feed.

Some snails are real individuals, some will not touch a food while the others are swarming around it.
