[pond boy]

Well today (ok last night) I went to the lfs and I traded some of my extra hornwort,myriohillium,and nymphoides for 2 apple snails! They are 2+ inches wide! They are so cool!

They had ones that were 3 1\2 inches long,but they werent very active.and they won`t have babys all over the place unless you have a male and a female one.

Thats why i said 'with a little luck' Just wondering, is it possible to sex a snail?

It is possible to sex Apple Snails. I've tried it without any luck. Here's a site just on Apple Snails: http://www.applesnail.net/
