Are there any good answers as to why we don't offer this free French delicacy more often to our Plecos?

I wasn't aware that plecos actually ate snails. Considering their diets and the behaviour of mine though I can see how this would be possible.

I've never tried garden snails, but I can tell you mine don't touch garden snails or ramshorn snails. Dang!

Now that is not a reply I understand! Anyway, have eaten garden snails for me in the past. If they don't get them quick enough mind you they can climb out and live on the fishroom wall.

Would eat them, given their vampire teeth? Seems imaginable, but I have no first-hand experience.

If you crush the snails before putting them in the tank, you don't have to worry about them climbing out.

Neither if you put them in the microwave for 10 seconds.

In my experience Pseudacanthicus eat many types of snails, even large Nerites. They don't need crushing or cooking. That was an expensive meal!
