[clover]

yesterday i went and baught some live plants for my tank coz i couldnt stand the fake ones anymore, anyways late last night i finished planting it all, this morning when looking all the apples snails have been eating them, i didnt think they ate live plants?

if this is true im gunna have to move them somewhere else in to a tank of there own.

You could try tempting them with something else. Some slightly wilted well washed lettuce just might do the trick. I have purple mystery snails which I understand are an apple snail. I don't have any trouble out of them eating any plants that aren't already dieing off. Good luck

Most apple snails are plant-eaters I believe. The mystery snail, of course, is an exception.

I thought I read that apple snails don't eat java fern because it bitter. Is this true?

My snail was only labeled as an apple snail so I don't know what species it is. When it moves to a better spot I will take a picture and post. Thank you shaz. I hope this helps clover.

What plants do have clover?
