I am so breathing a sigh of relief right now. Finally today I was able to find all the low-light plants I wanted and my mystery snails! I put in java moss, java fern, babana plants, a couple kinds of crypt and anubias, and some random stuff they had (one is a fern of some sort and the other I think is a kind of anubias as well). I also added four small mystery snails. I'm debating putting in a background... what do you all think? Also, should I add more plants? I don't think I should because I'm hoping those will spread out. TIA for any suggestions!

Oh and what should I feed the snails for now?

Looks good! The plants should fill in nicely.
 
Anyone know what the plant in the back left corner is called? It just said plant bundle on it lol. How about the fern in the middle? I don't know what kind that is either. Everything else I know lol.
 
The fuzzy thing in the middle looks like foxtail. No idea about the thing on the left altho it looks really cool, was going to ask what it was :P
 
You can feed the snails veggies like zucchini, cucumber, green beans, etc. Blanch or microwave briefly to soften them and then sink them with a clip or a fork or plant weight. They will also eat fish foods, but calcium is important in their diet so veggie is better.
 
oh good I have an overgrowth of green beans and cucumbers in my garden so that will work! lol That kills two birds with one stone... although I highly doubt they'll eat ten plus veggies a week lol
 
speaking of the moss, you may want to anchor it to one of your stump decorations. It likes to come loose otherwise and can get a bit messy. I use regular sewing thread to do so, or fishing line.
