my humble tylo snail tank

They'll eat more than Java ferns. Anything with fine or soft leaves will be devoured most likely. Anacharis will probably be a favorite. Good idea on vacation feeding.
It;s funny I used ti think snails were a pest to be gotten rid of. Now with planted tanks I'm buying plain old nerite snails but been watching them and interest is growing with snails. After seeing your tank I think my interest has just spiked out of the roof. Time to start checking out what it takes for a snail tank I guess.
yes i used to never paid much attention to them until i got my first batch of tylomelania, now i just cant get enough. The only thing stopping me is tank overstocking. The nice part of tylomelania is that they dont give you babies often, so every newborn is so precious.
I never thought I'd put these two words together but I think your snail tank looks more exotic than most freshwater tanks I've seen. (exotic and snail in the same sentence I am evolving even after all this time) LOL
hahaha.. thanks for the comment. The scape of this tank is constantly changing, because most of the plants are not doin well in this tank. This is what bugs me, even amazon frogbits(one of the most forgiving floating plant) rot in my tank... maybe it;s the high KH, PH and temperature of the tank.
Most tank scapes always change due to deaths, water changes or boredom. LOL I would have to figure a way to raise the PH mine come out at 6.8 -7. In the tanks it runs about 7 -7.4 I currently have 4 NPT with different lighting and temps so I'm experimenting with different plant in each.
