I've been fishing in my tank and trying to remove all of the snails that are eating my plants! left in three apple snails but they're on a final warning too! Think I've id'd them all i have a mix of....
Small Planorbids, Ramshorn Snails - Family Planorbidae
Bladder/Tadpole/Pouch Snails - Family Physidae
Common Pond Snail - Lymnaea peregra
Malaysian Trumpet Snail - Melanoides tuberculata
Great Ramshorn Snail - Planorbarius corneus
now my question is could I keep any of these in a planted tank without them eating my plants? (I am tempted to keep a few of the trumpet snails to look after my sand but would they eat my plants too?) and what do i do with the others? do they have any value to anyone or should I put them out for the birds??
Thanks
