geckomatt Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hey everyone, I have a 20 Gallon tank with two bubba convict cichlids (3-4cm) and a baby pleco (7cm) which I will be moving into bigger tanks when they are bigger. But for now, will it be ok for me too put an apple snail or two in here? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi geckomatt, I cant see a problem with putting 1-2 Apple Snails in the tank along with your Fish, as you say you will be transferring them into a different tank when they are bigger anyway.

Pawz Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 i have found that even the baby convicts nipped at the tennis ball sized apple snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geckomatt Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 That's what I was worried about... Shall I just see how it goes? I am getting them from my LFS and I'm fairly certain they will take them back. I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hmmmm, :roll: :roll: :roll: Apple Snails do have hard shells Now are baby Convicts nipping at the Apple Snails Shell, really going to cause it any harm ???? :-? :-? :-? I'm not sure about the answer too that question, so maybe someone else might like to answer that. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilknieval69 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 i rekon you try it, thats my opinion. I would do it Rogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 my patner had set up a dedicated tank to them. hes had them for 4ish months now and had never breed before. It was only once they had their own tank that they breed. they love to eat all your plants and ours get a daily feed of lettuce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geckomatt Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Ok thanks. I will try it and see. It would be cool to breed them, these are about the size of a 20 cent piece, so I think they are too small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
