6 inches! Thats pretty big for a snail! How much wre they at your LFS? I'd probably pay $15-$20 for a 6" apple snail! I have a relatively small 2 1/3" apple snail, and I think he's hibernating. He comes out when I feed him cucumber, which he loves. I think he's either hibernating or hiding, since all my mollies harass him when he comes out of his shell. Could I put him with my betta in a 2.5g if I changes the water every second day (e.g. CLEAN, DONT CLEAN, DONT CLEAN, CLEAN, DONT CLEAN, DONT CLEAN, CLEAN, etc.)?
If I did that, would my betta (male)pick on him like the mollies do? Are mollies usually vicious toward snails?
