2 apple snails

[iloveyou]

yea.. they were expensive.. but there were eggs all above the water line so i figured id get 2 and hope theyre opposite sex.. 1 is green and 1 is yellow with a couple black stripes..

they were 2 for $5.49 canadian..

which i didnt like, but i drove there so i wasnt gonna come home empty handed...

should i stick em in my guppy tank? and see if they breed there? or should i put em in a 2 gallon vase and let em breed therE?

any ideas?

well i put em in my 10 gallon guppy tank.. and at night i turned on the light to check on em..

1 of em had eaten all the spiney thingies off 1 of the plant stems.. and was now eating the stem.. i wasnt told that these things eat plants...

I had apple snails (Pomacea bridgesii) in my planted tank and they were fine. Some snails will eat anything thats green.

mine dont eat plants... they eat Rotting plant matter but not the plant itself.... have u tried puttin cucumber in to take their minds of ur plants?


i naturaly put cucumber in because of my b/plecs... but they hardly get a chance with the snails.... so i add extra

Mine eat rotting plants, rotten food and somet algae etc but it doesn't touch the plants... perhaps yours is a different breed of apple snail so it's kinda different...

Edit: btw mine is a typical yellowis coloured one
