Hello! Thanks everyone for all your help already! I got a Blue mystery snail a week ago and he is awesome and loves carrots and veggies. :-D

So, I was wondering... should I get him a mystery snail buddy?? Do they prefer friends? I'm going to the pet store tomorrow, so I could easily get my little snail Loki a friend. :)

Thanks!!!!

It is a 10g with a female betta. I'm gonna have 4 female bettas in there eventually. Do you think it is too small for another snail? It has a filter that is rated for a 20g too, if that makes any difference. :)

I just love my snail!

As long as the bettas do not pick on the snails, and they sometimes do, it should be fine.
4 bettas, in a 10 gal, you are a lot braver that I am. I have read that it can work, but them females can be something else.
In case you have not noticed yet, mystery snails poop a hole lot! So be prepared for some extra gravel cleaning!

haha! Yes, my snail does poop a lot, but he is so cute it is worth it!

my betta does not even take a second look at him! I have a 2g bowl that I could put him in if anything starts to go wrong... while it's not the best home, it's better then him getting stressed out!

Yes... my female is a little brat! Actually, both of my females are! LOL but i think they will be fine. The tank is HEAVILY planted.
