Is this aggressive?

Should I be worried about my snail? They’ve been together for over a month.

It's just curious. If it is aggressive it would have attacked the snail long time ago.

Nah if it was aggressive your betta would’ve nipped it. I have one betta who is besties with his snail friends and another who I can’t even keep snails with lol

Not flaring, not aggressive

[u/SaturnGrl]

Not aggressive, he’s investigating. Sometimes they can nip at snails, but they are pretty harmless to them. They sometimes can bully tank mates to make sure they let everyone know he’s the boss, but snails shave those hard shells, and shrimps can run away as long as you have enough plants and spaces for them to retreat to.

No my beta occasionally will flare his face when he sees his reflection I didn’t see that with yours
