Hi all. Time to check the collective wisdom. My daughter has a 5 gallon freshwater tank. She wants a snail. I need to know what type would be best.
Here are the tank specs:
5 gallon half hex
Undergravel filter
External power filter
Gravel bed with fake plant
2 incandescent lights (15 watts each)
1 Calico Telescopic goldfish
Tank just finished cycling
Heater keeps tank at 72-74 degrees
Any suggestions?
Also any specifics in regards to the snails (feeding/care, etc.) would be helpful.
I have heard an Apple snail is good.
Thanks.
