I decided to write an article on them. I can't imagine a tank without them. Of course with tank mates that will allow them to live

good article, but i would have touched on the importance of a calcium rich diet for briggs. unless you have incredibly hard water, you do need to supplement calcium in their diet.
I have three in my tank (bridgesii apple snails) that don't eat the plants, but they are getting so large that they will uproot poorly rooted plants. They were sold as "mystery snails."Cool
My LFS always told me that they would eat any plants in the tank?
I understand that canaliculata apple snails will eat most plants and they are also sold as "mystery snails."
My three (Skeeter, Goldie and Float) are between ping-pong and golf-ball size. Pretty neat pets...
My golden mystery snail doesn't bother any of my plants, and my aponogeton and lilies have really thin leaves, they'd be easy to consume. He does however devour thawed frozen broccoli. It's his favoriteCool

.I'd assume if you don't feed them enough they might resort to eating plants, but otherwise they'll leave most plants alone.
I think I have a mystery snail. I bought one anyhow. Put it in my five gal at work with one male betta and havent seen it since. no shell. nothing. it is heavily planted woth java moss. do they tend to hide in that maybe? or could it have gotten lost in the moss?
