Huge brown snails.

Hi guys, another question please??

I bought one of these snails a few weeks back, and the one day, I noticed a large pink ball of eggs in the canopy, and I think a week or so ago, they popped out, what do I feed them, or will they vacuum my tank for me??

Thanks.

 

Arent on the BL?

 

Those would be Apple snails most likely:

​

 

Put them upside down over the BBQ until the green boils out. Taste lovely!

 

If your tank has lotsa algea,they should be fine - otherwise feed them on blanched lettuce,cucumber or baby marrow...Just remember to remove the veggies after a few hours,otherwise they might foul the water...

 

i have two of them they are yellow and small, the one i'm talking about is black/brown and very big

 

​

 

jip. look alike, will take a pic and post in the morning, or 2nite.

 

Then you have brown apple snails you get them in yellow too.

 

If you weren't in Roodepoort I'd come fetch a few... my tank needs a vacuum!

 

haha, my tank is full of small ones now, the local pet shop said when they are bigger i must bring them, they will buy them from me....for how much i dont know....i paid R30 for my one

 

All snails are on the South African blacklist, as such, it is actually illegal for you to buy, keep, breed, or sell them.
