Hey okay well at my local pet store they have many diffrent sizes
of apple snails,Extra small,small,med size,big.
If i were to put a apple snail into my
10 gallon that holds fry would they attend to eat them?
And will they need more oxegen if they are bigger?
of does that apply to the smaller ones?

The snails will eat other snails if they are small baby snails.

Snails breathe the air we do, so no need to worry about that air supply. The have breathing tubes and every so often, they come up to the surface of the water to get some air.

The smaller snails will still eat the baby snails if they are very tiny, like I'm talking just hatched.
