I have a few mollies in a 5 gal tank and i was thinking about adding some Mystery Snails do you thinkthis is a good idea? will mollies bother the snails?

Thank you for your help!

mystery snails are to big for them to bother.they may eat the eggs but i doubt it,at least they won't get all the eggs

yuor mollies will be fine. I have had snails in with my mollies, & they never bothered them. Even after the snails died, my platies would eat the dead snails in their tank, but not the mollies. Mystery snails should get along with most community fish. I have had good experience with mystery snails with Platy, Swordtail, Molly, Guppy, Tetras, Gouramis, & Rainbow Sharks. Just be sure your water quality is good, that's where I had a hard time with the snails, they don't like bad water.
