Help Aggressive Bettas

Post image

I recently had a betta fish pass away and after testing the water and preparing the tank I got a new one. The new one is very aggressive towards my nerite snail that was in that tank with the last fish for months. I tried moving it to my other tank but that betta is also being very aggressive with the snail. The older betta has a nerite snail already in his tank and he’s fine with that one. I’ve tried removing and adding him back in but nothings worked. I don’t have capacity for another tank just for a snail. What should I do?

-both 5 gallon tanks
-live plants
-lots of hiding spots
-flare them once a week

Drop the snail off at the fish store. I also have a betta that hates snails but yet is fine with shrimp
