I saw one of those pretty snails that they have at the lfs and was wondering how well one giant one 1.5 inches big would do/ how long do they live? Will my african cichlids eat it? I have a little high nitrates in the tank but everything else is zero, could it live with some nitrates in the water.

How high are your nitrates? How often do you change water?
EDIT: Also, high nitrates will cause algae so changing water should help that problem.
