When I put them in a bare tank alone I feed them mostly shrimp pellets and algae wafers with an occasional leaf of lettuce weighted down with a paperclip. Cana mystery/applesnails will eat vegetation including lettuce, cucumber, zuchini, and any other vegetables or plant matter as well as algae wafers most times. Both snails will eat some of all the foods but they are happier, healthier, and live longer with a diet weighted more toward the type of snail. Alot of people feed floating pond food and their snails learn to climb to the top and grab some. You can then scoop out leftover food easily. |

In tanks they eat left over food. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
