I ve seen here pictures of tanks with plants and snails. They don't harm your plants? I want to house one or two but hesitant because I have live plants.
I disagree....Never had pond snails eat live healthy plants. Ive had hundreds in tanks with no issues. Probably a hundred in my 10 now. Probably another 100 mts and maybe 20 rams. Rams starting to come back now. Mts are most prolific in typical systems. But easily 250 snails in my 10g.If you ever have a population explosion... Pond snails will eat healthy plants.
Recently had it happen with nearly no algae. No algae equals no food. They gotta eat something... And they will.I disagree....Never had pond snails eat live healthy plants.

LOL. Yeah they were healthy. But had my balance down with shrimp and ottos and then had a pond snail explosion... First day I did the cucumber trick I pulled out hundreds. And did the same every few days for a few weeks. I did say explosion...Anyone can win lottery. I always come across someone who claims they ate plants. Was plant healthy? Do you know for sure IT ate plant?
Is it possible.....yes. Likely......extremely unlikely. Rogue snail....maybe. All I can say is ive kept them for about 35yrs in large numbers in many tanks and ive yet to have someone convince me they eat plants.
But we can still be buddies lol
