Collectors,
If one mystery snail dies, will the other snails eat it?
Do they eat dead fish or just fish-food?

in my experience, most snails, including mystery/apple snails don't eat dead snails. Mystery snails normally just float to the top and start stinking
Most varieties of snails, including mysteries, will eat dead fish.

In my snail tanks, I never find dead fish or anything else dead. It disappears before I ever find it.

10 or 14 golf-ball sized snails went in last week, and not I'm a little surprised at how clean my glass is. 2 have succumbed (Synodontis was culprit, i think) and one has still to come out of it's shell. Rest very happy & mobile.... & hungry.
