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

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. :-)




I had 4 adult Apple snail included with a plant order. One of the 4
liked to eat plants. My Clown Loaches liked all of the Apples, but
somehow 3 babies survived and I moved them to two tanks that didn't
have CLs. The 3 are doing fine and have not eaten any plants so far I
as can see.
