They are from the Fornus species and yes they DO eat plants. I have 4 large devil thorn snails the same snail as lava but without the red streak. They breed very easily popping a baby every other week if the conditions are right. I feed mine crab cusine and spinach. HTH Eva

could you possibly tell me what the "right" conditions for these guys are?
Are they male/female like tylos or hermaphrodites?

thanks in advance
