Ramshorn question

[freshcichlid]

ok i am getting some of these little guys, i hear they bread A LOT. so i am setting up an african cichlid tank, am i able to put them in the same tank and have them be alright or will they be food ? thanks !

Also - i have an apple snail in a tank by itself, what do i feed it ? and when i get the ramshorn they will be housed together until the other tank has cycled, what do i feed them all, ? thanks

I hear snails are quite into things like lettuce and such, I'm hoping someone else will come on with more suggestions since I just bought a snail yesterday and haven't had one in ages so I need a reminder as well.

It is my understanding that snails cannot tolerate salt, aren't cichlids in salt water?

Well the color is all in naturally I believe...Cause even the snail inside is somewhat red Red is just like normal snails. Same care I know a site where you can bd for red ones...
