I used to have a 10 gallon with community fish too! I had an apple snail in it. Apple snails WILL grow though (hence their name) but they are awesome to watch and do a good job at cleaning! The cooooolest thing to do with an apple snail is to set a video camera up and film the aquarium for about 30 minutes, then get the video and speed it up either on the computer or on an editing system! You'll see how much the snail treks!

Hope things work out well for ya!

My mystery snail is pretty lively and comes to the surface to eat.

I'm not sure about the crabs. Mine died. i was told they need land to climb onto otherwise they drown.
