Hi all, I have a 90l tank that I would like to plant up, at the moment it has java moss, Java fern, Ludwigia, Hygrophilia and vallis but practically every plant has been nibbled to varying degrees and I almost have no vallis left :/ in the tank is a rather large apple snail that I believe to be the culprit but short of removing it are there any plants that are more resistant to snails that I can try? I have been feeding the snail with cucumber, corgette and tomato as I also have bristlenoses in this tank and it often eats the bloodworm pellets too so I know it's not short of food, one other thing is I have many tiny ramshorn like snails in the tank what could these be? they never seem to grow more than 3mm.

Thanks, now I need to find a place that sells nice large anubias, don't want to spend too much though as I know they are expensive, I have a few small ones already but they grow so slow, if anyone knows of anywhere or anyone that has some they want to sell let me know :nod:

Just bought the type of anubia I want from Last Trading Post :good:
