Apple snails are not called apple snails because they eat apples. They are called Apple Snails because of their size. True apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) can grow up to 5" in Dia. Nontheless Apple Snails can eat apples.

What should you feed albino mystery snail?

I never specifically feed my black mystery snail. I feed the fish and just figure the snail will get it's food from the algae growing in the aquarium. I've had the snail over a year without a problem. It just hatched out about 50 babies too, so it seems to be doing well.


Can the tank be cleaned with snail eggs in it?

For a water snail You will need to do a weekly 20% water change or your snail will die of ammonia poisoning. Occasionally (once every month or so) vacuum the bottom to clean up the waste that the snail produces. Also feed it lettuce or apples or carrots (washed well in warm water) and remove the uneaten food in 24 hours. For a land snail no you will not if you have a dirt bottom. Also feed it the same veggies and remove the uneaten food after 48 hours. Feed both types of snails cuttle bone or eggshells for calcium to develop a healthy shell. Good luck!
