I saw a couple of posts lately where people are keeping Apple Snails with
their GF. How big are the AS, do the GF nip their tentacles? AS seem to be
one of the cleaner snails, any concerns about the Rat Lungworm parasite?
Where do you get your stock, LFS?

I'm in Canada BTW.


Apple snails can grow to the size of a tennis ball. Fish will nip, but the
AS will learn to hide, tenticles willl grow back if nipped on.
You'll need to provide at least 5 gallons per snail.
Lungworm parasite? I'm not too aware of that - obviously quarantining is
good practice!
