Snail Damage

cheseboy · 12-17-2005, 11:50 AM

I have recently pulled our my rotting water sprite. I have 2 apple snails in my tank. I think the apple snails may be eating my bananna plant. Does this look like snail damage?

I have common(pest) ramshorn snails and the only two plants that I've kept that have been eaten are hygro and a banana plant. They loved the banana plant, especially the "bananas".

I've never had a pest snail in this tank. Though when I removed their major sorce of food ( water sprite) the snails could only feed on the bananna plant. So I'm going to need to give my snails zucchini so atleast they will have another choice. I only havo one small snail in another tank I have. He's not really a pest since he eats my floating water sprite that I keep soley for nitrate removal. He's kinda cool actually.
