Hello! Was just wondering whether you can keep apple snails or nerite snails without a filter?

Thanks!
 
well yes, the recommendations would be more water changes, a substrate of some sorts of porous rock, a decent amount of plants and low bio load.
These can be used in combination but the most important one is more frequent water changes and monitoring the tank closely.
 
if you do big regular water changes you can. live plants will also help keep the water cleaner.
 
What do you mean by regular water changes?
 
Also, what size tank would I need for:
1. A Nerite Snail
2. An Apple Snail
3. A White Wizard Snail
 
Thank you for the links, I meant like whether you have to do them every day, every week etc.
 
Without a filter you should do water changes every day or every couple of days, depending on what the ammonia levels are like. If you aren't monitoring the ammonia level, then do a 50-75% water change every day.
