If he's been eating snails he's likely a "smasher" and won't eat fish at all... not sure if you can risk any other crustaceans in with him.

woh woh big gunner :mrgreen: , both my smashers ate fish like they were going out of style.. they are just more sneaky at catching them. a smasher will eat anything it can hit or grab, its that sperer that is more likely to leave armored critters alone.
