I purchased an Apple Snail yesterday thats the size of a golf ball. I thought they were strictly algea eaters, which they are, except this morning I realised what their favorite food really is...my live plants.
I'm so glad I had dinner waiting for the little fellow when he got to his new home and he still is going at it! This snail must have been eating all night.
These monsters certainly have one hell of an appetite. It looks like having live plants in my tank is soon to be no go.
See what happens when you don't read up fully on new critters to your fish tank? This snail definitly has an attitude problem but it's cool, I just didn't expect to wake up this morning to see my plants being chewed up.
What do you all feed your Apple Snails? I know lettuce and carrots are accepted but what is your snails favorite food?...besides your plants.
