Check what type of snail you have here : http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=75554

That doesn't sound like an apple snail to me.

Some will, some won't. It's definately worth a call to your LFS.

I too am hesitant to "get rid" of them in any other way than the tank in habitants eating them of giving them to my LFS.

I read that before and that is where I decided I have apple snails, can I ask why you didn't think they sounded like apple snails?

Apple snails aren't usually the type of snail that you get coming in on plants. Usually they're pond snails or something similar.

Also, apple snails lay their eggs above water, so you'd know if they have laid eggs or not. Look around the tank, see if you can see any kind of eggs around. Also a pic of the snail would help id if, if you're able to.
