Of plants and snails...

[Snail87]

I was wondering if anybody knows what kind of plants mystery snails won't eat. I have a golden, blue, pearl, and mystery snail. They seem go eat the plants in the tank at night. Any suggestions?

Are you positive the snails are the plant eating culprits? I've had mystery snails before and never experienced them having an appetite for plants.

What kind of plants are they currently eating? My only suggestions would be to maybe go with plants that are tougher. Maybe try anubias?

Try feeding Spinach or Romaine to your snails. Clip it or weight it down so it stays put. See if that curbs the snacking.

My snails ( not Mystery ) leave healthy plants alone.

I'm not sure what kind of plant it was, but they would only go after damaged parts. I've since replaced it with new ones, and they seem to be leaving them alone.
If they start up again, i'll try the lettuce.
Thanks!
