Nothing special they grow really huge!, feed them algae wafers and they'll be happy. And enjoy I love watching my snails motor around the tank. I have an 8 gallon MTS planted tank with 2 golden apples and 4 ivory apples and they are all bigger than a dollar coin, and also 5 neon tetras and 2 pork chops lol.
 
Have to agree with apple/mystery snails


They are pretty simple to care for, scavengers and algea eaters but wouldn't mind some fresh veggies and cuttlebone occasionally (like 1-2x per week is what I do)

What size is your tank? They grow pretty large, like the size of a ping pong ball at the least and have a pretty large bioload, so you will probably want to cut down on your numbers before they get too large.
 
Ill be selling some of them soon well most of them I wanna wait till they get a bit bigger then I will there in a 20gal
 
I own mystery snails and apple snails! I have about 50 baby apple snails now. They are both great algae eaters. I give mine a cuttlebones occasionally and a couple algae wafers a week.
 
That's alright I got 3 BN plecos and all them snails for $10 here is a pic of them all if u look carefully u can see the plecos haha
