THIS IS AN AMAZING BARGAIN, IM NOT A BREEDER, I JUST HAVE A VERY HEALTHY TANK!
APPLE SNAILS ARE GREAT AT CLEANING YOUR TANK AND ARE ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!
Apple snails have certain characteristics exclusive to this family. They have a trapdoor known as the operculum cover at the entrance to their shells. This enables the snails to keep out predators but also acts as a water tight seal during times of drought in their natural habitat.
Apple snails also have a lung and a gill. This enables them to take oxygen from both the water and atmospheric air. Apple snails are often a good indicator of low oxygen levels in an aquarium. They will climb to the waters surface and suck in air through the siphon when oxygen levels are low.
Pomacea bridgesii, the common apple snail, these species are highly coloured and make a superb addition to a planted aquarium. Whilst they do not eat live plants, apple snails will relish algae in the aquarium and help to keep leaves and ornaments clean.
