Hi,

I have hundreds of baby apple snails in my tank. I wonder, is there
a
special wy to raise them or can I leave them in the tank?

Regards,

Jan



I have raised alot of apple snails, You can wait till they get the
size
of a quarter and then find a pet store for most of them. I keep 6 out
of
the batches if I'm low. I feed them rinsed canned green beans, 1 green
bean per snail when they are adult, just a few in the tank for babies.

I feed them spinach also, float a leaf, or clip a leafor canned
rinsed. Algae wafers also. I don't feed them these thing every day
just
2 to 3 times a week and everyday I put in a pinch of fish flake.
snails
do good in harder water, thier shells will start to get holes with
softer water, so I advoid any drifwood. I have fake drifwood with no
sharp ends or edges, they love to climb. Also they love to climb out
of
the tank, so you ahve to secure it.

I have lots of plants but my snails are Pomacea bridgesii. Or as the
store calls them mystery snails. or gold inca snails.

Very helpfull information. I did a search on google for the gold inca
snails and saw a pic, mine are the same as yours. Thanks!
