Good vibes, I took a bite of the info given on these Apple Snails. I took the plunge and bought some of these critters, I felt like I needed to dive in and learn about them, This video narrator leaves a trail of positive vibes and key info. I came out of my shell and got aquarium snails for the first time ever.

I added apple snail today.. It started digging up in the substrate.. It did that in 3 spots within first 10 minutes.. I moved it back to quarantine tank for now.. . Any reason they do that? How to get it to stop? It id ruining the aquascape by digs and uprooting plants..

Guys please be careful about how you get rid of extra eggs. In some areas (like where I live) the apple snail is actually considered a huge nuisance, and they mess up the environment a lot.
@happygolucky9004 Жыл бұрын
The way I dispose of the eggs is to put them in a ziplock bag and use a glass to smoosh the eggs. Then I throw away the plastic bag.

All mystery snails are apple snails, but not all apple snails are mystery snails. Mystery snails is an aggregate term for all Apple snails that are hard to tell apart. The family of snails is Pomacea, named after the Latin word for Apple.

I have actually found that they will much rather fed on veggies and pellets, and blood worm. Mine are not small and it's better to keep them as one snail per 5 gallons. You neglected to tell ppl that these snail in fact put out a heavy bio load, and they die in your tank they will cause a massive ammonia spike. I know this from breeding and raising these snails.

The shell was deteriorating and I repaired it with egg shell skin. Decided to give it , its own tank. I added cuttle bone cause I believe thats why the shell was deteriorating. Ph level was fine. Can you give me any advice about feeding or special things I should do for the new tank? I want to add more snails and have kids in class see eggs hatch possibly but know nothing really about their specialized care. Thanks

@CaptainDCap2 жыл бұрын
You got the wrong apple snail. Pomacea Maculata is the largest of the apple snails and is a voracious eater. It will destroy your plants. P. Brigesii are a lot smaller and do not eat live plants at all unless it has nothing else to eat. P. Diffusa will starve if it has no dead/dying plants or algae to eat.

Can we create an open pond situation with dead plants and flowers and soil and use these snails to eat away the algae and the dead plants?
@bubblerings9 ай бұрын
Why?? Because if the fish in the tank are messy eaters, then they are less destructive. But, after making mine eat Huge masses of light green soft Hair Algae for over a week, they stepped up their game, started on the crypts, frogbit and eventually Amazon Swords, which they had previous not touched at all. And, the larger the Apple Snail, the more potential to hurt plants. Mystery Snails are a smaller version.. but ARE still Apple Snails. So, don't put big Apples in with most carpetting plants in Aquasoils. They easily rip them out.

@sierralovat54985 жыл бұрын
My snail would do this too. try and fix your heater or get a new one or else your snail will get sick and die. once a week drop a pellet or two so your snail can munch on it. soften zucchini can be a snack but not a meal and only a small peice. too much could cause a fungal/bacteria outbreak. see if your snails and fish like it. Happy fish keeping 🐠🐌
