Java fern and Anubias are both pretty tough, and might stand a chance. It
also depends on which exact species of snail, some are more prone to eat
live plants than others.

Quoting :
"Depends entirely upon the species, and how you feel about snails in
general. For example, take Pomacea bridgesii, which is commonly referred to
as a
mystery snail, and sometimes an apple snail. In my experience they eat
debris and dead leaves, but never harmed live plants. Pomacea
canaliculata, also sold as an apple snail, is a living lawnmower. In the
smaller realm, snails commonly knows as 'pond snails' are plant safe, as are
Malaysian trumpet snails. --Eric Schreiber"

I know this is a silly, wildly unrealistic, question, but I have to ask
anyway...

Is there by any chance a plant I could put in my tank that the Apple Snail
wouldn't devour completely in a day?

I'm asking on the outside chance there's some pleasant plant that grows in
low light (Duckweed), inhibits algae (Hornwort), and tastes bad to snails
(????).

Oh yeah, and it has to wash the dishes and take out the trash too. :-)
