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....smile.gif

My apple snail chowed all my plants to the nub within a week of getting him.

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...smile.gif
