Hey guys. I'm not exactly an expert on snails, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Do Malaysian Trumpet Snails do well with other species? And if so, which species?

I have mine with pond snails and assassins. They don't 'do well' with assassins but my assassins like them!

Which species do you recommend if I have plants? Cause I know some snails tend to eat plants no?

Nerites won't eat your plants or breed in freshwater they're hard workers too. Mystery snails won't touch plants either I have 2 they only clean the algae off them & eat the dying leaves etc. Just make sure if you buy them you supplement their diet, algae wafers & fresh veg, cucumber & kale is a good favorite of mine

Speaking of fresh veg, how often should I put lettuce or zucchini into my tank? Once a week?

Mine get algae wafers one night then veg the next night but I have a lot of snails. Depends which snail you get? If it's mystery snails I would feed them the same as they love too eat lol. Just make sure you clean the veg well for them. I put mine in at night & take out what's left in the morning. Hope that helps
