Anyone hear like fresh water snails? Especially apple snails?

Hi Snailtrap,

I like snails. I have red ramshorns in all my tanks. I'd have apple snails if they didn't eat my plants.

I have two huge golden apple snails. Both in my 29 gallon Angel/community tank.
 
I have pond,ramshorn,albino ramshorn,aple,trapdoor,and melanoides snails.:D
 
I have apple snails, eared pond snails, vivas, melanoids, and small pond snails.
BTW Elgecko, are you by any chance the Elgecko of applesnail.net?
 
I have had about twenty apple snails in my life... my favorites were one that I think was a golden apple, and was about 2 1/2 to 3 inches around (little smaller than a raquet ball) and the little marks on his foot, I called them topigraphical, not sure what they are, were a vivid electrib blue. That snail, and another one I had routinely laid eggs on the bottom of the glass hood for me. The other snail was absolutely huge, larger than a baseball.. I have no idea what he/she/it was, but it was awesome, lived for about 4 years in my care.

I currently don't have any, though I am going to get a few to keep my wifes goldfish tank clean. I had two in it before, but went away on vacation for a week and forgot to put food in for the flock of goldfish... they thought the snails were suitable substitutes.

now, I have gotten her down to one Gold Moore, and were putting him in a 30 all by his lonesome with a couple of apples.

In the past, my favorite snail for a planted tank, are malaysian trumpets, they breed rapidly, and control all types of algae without damaging your plants...
 
SnapTrap,
Yes I'm the same person.
 
Well I'm Snailfan, though since I ran into a computer glitch I have'nt been able to post there.
The huge snail was probably Pomacea Maculata.
