VinsonMassif Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Are there any aquarium plants that Apple Snails will not devour? I love my apple snails but I love my plants more. I want to have them both in the same tank..... Wishful thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've got 10 golden apple snails in a 70L tank which is mainly a growing on tank for some of my whiptails. Anywho there is a clump of amazon sword and a clump of java moss in the tank and the snails haven't touched them. They dive onto the trout pellets that are meant for the fish thou.

VinsonMassif Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well in three weeks my 2 apple snails ate these entire plants: 3 amazon swords a square foot of crypts 10" of anubias and a 2' tank worth of java moss. Sure I let them eat my throw away plants, but I have no more extra plants to give them. They are now on a diet of cucumber, spinach and carrots. Oh well.
