Its like.. getting all modley up in there!

haha; so can i just get a snail to pop in there!

i mean.. i only have one fish.. and its just a little one gallon fish tank?

But would anything happen to the snail er fish if i did? ):

thank you!
 
Yes, but the fish MUST go. NO FISH CAN LIVE IN A 1 GALLON TANK! NOT EVEN A BETTA!! Fish need a minimum of 5 gallons, although some fish, like goldfish, need a minimum of 10 g, but it really depends on the fish. What kind of fish do you have?

All fish NEED TO BE IN A LARGE ENOUGH, cycled, aquarium that HAS A GOOD FILTER and you do a 25% water change weekly. I don't know what fish you have...if it's a betta, upgrade to a 2.5 g, if it's a tetra, livebearer, or cyprinid, then upgrade to a 5 gallon, if it's a goldfish upgrade to a 10 gallon, and if it's neither of those then repost with what kind of fish you have so we can help you choose a more appropriate home for your fish. And to answer your question, yes, a snail can live in a 1g, but it would prefer a 5 g, and since you will be upgrading to a larger tank anyway then put it in that with your fish. Keep in mind that most loaches and catfishes, and also pufferfish, eat snails, so if your fish is one of those don't put a snail in.

Good luck!!!

Get one of those sucker fish! They're better! Also, maybe you want to invest in a water filter. You will need to clean the tank every now and then, also.
 
one time i had a snail...then it was 2 snails...then after like 2 months there were like...100 snails of all different sizes...and whenever one of my fish died...the snails would eat it...it was gross. I wouldn't get a snail. Just clean it yourself or get a filter...or both...
 
You could the only bad thing is Snails are A-sexual which means they can breed at any time by themselves. I've seen tanks overwhelmed with snails before.
