When I bought my first 3 apple snails a few day ago, the lady from the store asked me if they come into a planted tank, just to warn me that they might end up eating or chewing on some plants....

I read someplace that, when you don't have much algae in your tank, you can put a slice of cucumber in, that something the snail would it...

i think i heard this as well Andrea. But my tank is full of algea and hope he cleans up most of the algea before more fry come along.
