Snails in A Planted Tank?

[Lupin]

I just acquired another 10 gallon tank (for free!:thm and decided to put three of my mystery snails(2 on the smaller size, one medium) in there together.

I was really hoping to also turn that into a planted tank.. Would that be a possibility? I was reading at applesnail.net that they are one of the only snails that would be alright with plants, and I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of people here on AC with their snails with live plants as well..

I'd be going pretty low-tech and low light with the planted as it would be my first, but I was just wondering are their substrates and fertilizers that would be toxic or stressful for the snails? I was thinking about using Eco-complete and maybe a fert like Seachem Flourish if necessary.

And one last thing, does anybody have any suggestions on plants that I could do? Ones that maybe your snails particularly liked, or that have worked out for you in this type of situation. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Robert Pilla of Applesnail.net mentioned Pomacea paludosa are like the Pomacea diffusa. Finicky eaters and will not eat plants but difficult to breed and keep. The flapples are rarely around the trade anyway unless you're lucky to find some mistaken for some other species.

I use Egeria densa, crypts, Java moss and Nymphaea lotus in my snail tanks although the mystery snails managed to eat the lotus bulb and left the shell after it had been with me for two years.:lipssealedsmilie:

how would trumpet snails fair in a planted tank? I'm wondering because I'm getting plants soon and at the moment I have 5 trumpets in one of my tanks.

They should be fine as already said. I have plenty of babies and 3 adults only.erv: They can't overpopulate easily with the mystery snails pushing them around and stopping them in their tracks to get the foods.:lipssealedsmilie:
