Mystery/Apple snails like their water too alkaline (around pH8) for most species of peacefull aquarium fish. If you must mix them with fish you will have to experiment. One snail needs around 2.5 gallons of water. Don't try to keep them with large cichlids cause they will be eaten. They are tropical so their water needs to be heated to around 75F. Don't keep them with goldfish either.
