Anubias And Java Fern

[Dude]

the best combonation of a non co2 10 gall tank

my question is if there are any snails that leave these plants alone.(not m trumpet snails) cuz i allready have them

i have a big algea problem so i need a clean up crew


i know that not many snails eat anubias but what about java fern\?

any help is very appreciated

Dont think any snails eat the plants themselves, just the algae. Also, think java fern it one plant that not even cichlids will eat, so probbly fine with snail!

I used to have apple snails, and they would leave the plants alone... he stuck mostly on the glass.

I've always wondered about apple snails. Look good, but unsure wether or not all my plants would get eaten!

different species of snails will eat plants where as some won't.

on apple snails there are a few different species, some that eat plants some which won't.

ok i did my resurch and (just for everyones info)

apple snails do not eat plants, just rotted leaves and algea/ left over food

there are a species that are called giant apple snail and they do eat live plants
