I will be moving my neons and SAEs into the newly setup tropical tank in a week time, so I will be left with an empty quarantine tank (not for long )!

I have never kept snails before until Fishy-Fishy sent some MTSs to me and I find them fasinating! So I am thinking of giving Apple Snails a go!

I will appreciate any advice, tips, do's & don'ts and most important of all their colours as I have not seen them in real life Thanks!

I've got 3 apple snails, they are wicked This site has got some cool pics and info on snails, including whether or not they eat live pants *sniggers*

What colour do you have Caz? The pictures on the site looks really nice... quite like the purple and rose ones

Another good site for all you ''snaily'' fans

Thanks Euryale! Very comprehensive site!!!

I've got a giant stripy brown one that I got from my LFS, and 2 regular sized ones, one blue and one ivory, that I got from Snailtrail (off this site). I used to have a giant golden one too but he died I'd had him for a while.

They sound really nice, from what I read the giant apple snails do eat plants... does yours behave him/herself?

I am sorry to hear about the giant golden one, apparently their life spans are shorter in tropical tank.... I am sure he/she was well cared for...

I should PM SnailTrail whether she has got some Pink, Rose or Purple AS for sale?

I don't breed apple snails anymore although I still keep a few old timers as pets. I'm more into shrimp now although I still keep/breed other types of snails that require less tank space.

I do have asolene spixi (zebra apple snails) for sale so PM me if interested.

No, he does not behave himself I put him in my planted tank temporarily and it ended up looking like a horde of locusts had attacked it.

Oh dear!!! I have to keep it in mind I would be very upset if that happened!!!
