Ok, if your gonna do this tell people how to identify the native apple snail. I had one myself as a pet for years Pomacea paludosa. They look very very similar but the actuall apple snail has been recorder in those waters since at least the 1800. Dude was great and use to eat from my hand and they are super freaking smart.

Are the snails edible?

I did not know they were invasive! Down here in Florida Everglades.. they’re all over the waters.

Pls send me one

This guy has a very good video explaining about the native apple snail and that if you dont know the species of the egf LEAVE IT ALONE the native apple snails are entering a concerned status. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h62qirCX257Ho6s.htmlsi=HGAE8pTZ-IpUebq- Their egg color is slightly diffent and they do not make as many eggs as they have lived there for thousands of years and live in a balance with their enviroment. Like i said i owned one and they are uniquely intelligent. He use to come to the top of the tank out the water and want me to hand feed him. He would stay their and wait till i put the food in his mouth and 100% sure he had a beak that could have taken a bite out of me but never did, RIP Apple ( his name) he was also very good tank mate's with Mclain my albino rainbow, Rambo a closn loach and bunch of guppies. He was put in a tank once with a beta but it kept nipping at his eye stalks and one morning wake up to find Apple some how killed the SOB working with an Asian Golden Bell. Mclain nor the Clown never nipped at their eye stalks.
