Can you guys please try to answer some of these questions? smile.gif
1.How do you tell if a snail is a male or female?(anywebsites?) unsure.gif
2.How do you sink your cucumbers? unsure.gif
What type of snail is my one?? unsure.gif

Usually the males have a longer tube. http://applesnail.net/ This site is very good and has a lot of information on it you may find useful.

I used to use elastics and tie the cucumbers to rocks or ornaments in the tank. I would fully clean the elastics first because you do not want anything bad getting into the tank.

Do you have a pic of your snail? Chances are it is a apple snail/mystery snail. smile.gif

Looks like a Apple Snail to me, however, since there's more then one type, cana, brigg etc, I'd think comparing the charts on the apple snail site would be good for you! smile.gif

don't just look at the color, the tell tales are in the spiral & operculums as to which is what! biggrin.gif

Oh yeah, get a food clip that has a suction cup and just clip it inside the tank, they will find it! smile.gif

biggrin.gif Congrats Leo! Looks like a Cana to me also,but I need a closer pic to tell for sure. I throw chunks of cuke's in a little bit of water,and steam them for a few seconds.The veggies will then sit on the bottom for you.My snails seem to prefer their food a little softer. rolleyes.gif You can do that in the microwave too. Or as Kathy said,use a veggie clip! Good Luck!
