Apple Snails Qickest Way To Increase Size?

[saltynay]

I want to add assassin snails to my tank but atm the apple snails are to small for any such risk to be taken. I need to get these apples to grow like they are on steroids, what is the most nutritious food for them?

I have noticed that there is a huge growth rate difference between my Apples in colder water comparred to warm water..... and then also, those I move into my fry tanks (where I feed babyfoods - no.1 and no2) definitely grow faster....

All you can do is feed plenty of good food and do frequent waterchanges. Also make sure your water is not too acidic.

Which way round is the growth spurt hot or cold best?

Warmer... around 29Deg C....

Good they are in with a betta so are around 27.5C most of the time, can't turn the temp up much more as there are corys in the tank.

i feed some of my smaller snails dead plant matter which seems to make them grow a lot bigger.

Good idea however that would make a mess of my gorgeous sand especially with ADF, MTS and corys turning the substrate or do you mean non rotting? I feed them random garden leaves and algae flakes atm.
