My 'Apple Snail' is definitely Pomacea bridgesii. It's very aggressive
with respect to plants, plucking away at the plastic plants in the tank, and chowing down on any green material instantly. (Peas, Algae Wafers, Spinach, Brocolli, Zucchini, etc) Every time I do a water change in the tank, Petunia is out there grinding away on the plastic just to make sure nothing has changed. Petunia's favorite tactic is to park its foot over the fishes' food, hold the food in its labia and box out the fish. It'll hold algae tablets by the edge and rasp away with its radula while spinning it with its foot, like it was a corn cob. BTW, the AppleSnail site is great, isn't it? Mean_Chlorine wrote: Get the right species of apple snail (Pomacea bridgesii instead of P. canaliculata) and you can keep it with any plant you wish - it's safe with plants. If you've already got canaliculata... well, I don't know of any plant they won't eat. All you ever wanted to know about apple snails: http://www.applesnail.net/content/main.htm |
