Live ramshorns move, cling to surfaces and stimulate hunting instincts, which is why some keepers rate them among the \u003cstrong\u003ebest live food for tropical fish\u003c\/strong\u003e and even the \u003cstrong\u003ebest food for aquarium fish\u003c\/strong\u003e when feeding species that ignore dry foods during stress, breeding or acclimation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are especially useful for fish that benefit from varied texture and shell-based prey.
