danilada Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Can Apple Snails live in a tank with a high P.H? Was thinking of putting some in my African Tank but the P.H is a lot higher due to the needs of Electric Yellows, would the higher P.H be ok? (Google, doesn't seem to have an answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I believe a high pH and harder water is good for them, as it helps shell growth. I think soft acidic water leads to thin shells. I think however that your africans may see your snails as something to bite and torment, so the snails may not be happy from that point of view tho the water would probably be ideal.

kiwiplymouth Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I keep mine in African tanks as well as south american tanks. The healthiest snails are in the African tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Just remember that small snails will be food for Africans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 www.applesnail.net is a wonderful site with a lot of information (including recipes :lol: ). As said, snails need an alkaline pH or their shells soften and disintegrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
