SpidersWeb Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I don't actually know for sure having never kept apple snails, but I do know that if an apple snail was to go in to convict turf, they'd definately at least try to bite it. If they're breeding they'll even bite turtles at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 No don't put apple snails in with convicts. Apple snails actually taste quite nice as far as fish are concerned. And most cichlids and platties just constantly pick at the snails making them miserable. Really not fair on the snails if they can't be relaxed and feel safe in their enviroment. The happiest apple snails i have seen are ones in fry tanks or in tanks with only a couple of very quiet fish like tetras (tetras, if i remember correctly are less likely to hassle apple snails than fish like cichlids, danios and platties) Or if the snails are kept on their own.
