I just witnessed my Small Lion eating a snail. The snails shell now sits in the lions body and is noticable by the bulges on the sides.
Is this trouble? I dont know what I should do about the lion eating the snail, will the lions be alright?

I have never heard of this before. I dunno what is going to happen to him. I would suggest getting some bigger snails, or not getting any snails at all. I guess time will tell if your lion will be ok. Did it eat the whole shell or just a piece? I would think, depending on the size of the shell and fish, that it would be able to digest it and be ok. However I am a human nure, not a fish nurse. haha just a little fish humor for you. I would see if he eats, and poops, and of course if his belly gets smaller in the next couple of days. If he does all of these, then I am sure he will be fine. I know that this not much help, but I dont know how many people have experienced this.

Well it looks like the whole shell was eaten.
I have a problem with gettign all of the snails out of the tank. I converted from a reef setup and I have litterally hundreds of snails from all of them having babies and there is no way I can get them all.

The lion is still alive, he threw up the snail shells. But I still cant get him to eat frozen foods. I think I may be ready to go out and buy a few ghost shrimp here real soon if I cant get him into the frozen foods. Any ideas out there?

I would definitely try the ghost shrimp, but he's probably not gonna eat for a while. Can't blame him, that HAD to hurt!
