	Apple Snails.
Light_Bright Moderator Posts: 1156 Kudos: 1403 Votes: 351 Registered: 16-Jan-2002	We just got two apple snails. They are hard to find here. "Fred and Ginger" are in a ten gallon for now. Are apple snails asexual? If there are two will they breed? I notice them eating algae but are they plant eaters too? Does anyone know a good site about Apple Snails?

They stripped my tank of algae, even the BBA We are always stopping by the tank to see what they are doing. So far they haven't touched the crypts and they are cleaning the java moss but not eating it. I have a heavily planted tank that I have BBA in, I might try them in there but I would watch them very closely .... I want to keep my plants lol. ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

tkchill02 Hobbyist Posts: 83 Kudos: 52 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2004	I had two very Large Apple snails-about the size of my hand but one recently passed away & the reason is a mystery. I'm not sure how old they live but this fellow was about 4 yrs,so I narrowed it down to old age. The other one is great! I feed my snails spinach,romaine lettuce,cucumbers as a treat. My snails AND my Plecos LOVE it!!!
