Can I Feed My Apple Snail Spagetti?

[dingweding]

I usually feed my apple snails vegetable, but sometime i am too busy to shop, so i can not feed them. Then i will put quite a lot flake fish food in the tank, which flew everywhere. And the snail are still hungry, they will eat my plants, even some with very hard leaves. Thus i always find all kinds plants float everywhere next morning. That really annoying.

Today, when i having my dinner, i try to put a piece of spagetti in the tank. To see whether they are interested or not. 10 minutes later, all the snail come down to get their share, very interesting, it looks like those snails are waiting in a long queue to shop something, LOL.

No, for god's sake DON'T DO THIS!!!

I know at least for Giant African Land Snails, while they like pasta, their bodies can neither digest it nor pass it through, so they will bloat up and die.

I have no clue if Apple Snails are distant enough for this not to be an issue, but it's not worth the risk.

I believe adding epsolm salts helps clear whatevers in fish's stomachs.. Not sure about snails though..

Peas do that too. I think it's worth a try, at least with the peas.

Thanks for suggestion. They do look awful last nite, do not like move at all.

Thanks god, these morning, most of them are fine now. 1 or 2 still a little inactive, but i think they will recover.

just feed them some cucumber, courgette or some lettuce, boil em all before you feed them though, they will be easier to digest that way.
