Hubert Cumberdale!

[Honeythorn]

I now own my very first Golden Apple snail! Much to mother's dismay ( she detests snails of all sorts, and plecs, anything that can crawl up glass or has a suckermouth really ) .

I named him Hubert Cumberdale after the finger puppet in Salad Fingers

Lol, salad fingers is seriously screwed up...

 

[Honeythorn]

YES! Someone else who knows of the Salad Fingers! Ahhh it is seriously really weird and wrong, but so so great. " Hubert Cumberdale you taste like soot and poo! "

You should get two more and name them Marjory Stewart-Baxter and Jeremy Fisher.

Congratulation. How gr8 it is

 

[Nick16]

am i right in saying, you can have one apple snail and it wont breed? i have 2 tanks, so can i put one in each? will it destroy any plants?

 

[TylerFerretLord]

You can possibly get a female that has mated before(like I did) and she'll lay eggs. They're easy to get rid of, however.

Assuming you get a P. bridgesii it will leave plants alone. If you get a P. canaliculata it will eat plants. P. bridgesii is most often sold, though.

applesnail.net has some methods to determine the species.
