Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing a blue mystery snail yet have conflicting ideas that they eat live plants. I have heard that the species P. bridgesii a subgroup of mystery snail will not eat live plants. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

P. Bridgessi is a species of apple snail. Mystery snails are just a name given to some bridgessis(usually black ones). Applesnail.net says that Bridgessi does not eat healthy plants, only dead or dying ones. They can get rather big, but are entertaining. If they get too big take em back to your lfs and get new ones.
