I gotta post this. Our best friend (Helixander, a member here) just posted a video of his two 'Mystery Snails'... these are in a 10G with fake plants because they ate every plant I gave him and he bought for his planted tank!! At the end you'll see just how big they really are!

Yes, I know the waters dirty.... Ive been meaning to make a vid of them so Sark could see how big they are. I figured I would do it real quick before I vac the gravel and do my maintenance. There is Spot the Opaline gourami, Mortimer the MM platy, 2 ADF's. I had to put these two together in there since I moved everyone else from the 20 to the 30 and it is planted. This isn't their permanent home. I post a good vid of the new tank soon.

Now i've seen everything! :ssuprised:

Wow, I didn't think they got that big

That's one big snail

[Helixander]

The really scary part is that the other snail in the tank is actually notably larger than harvey who you mainly see in the video.

:lol: Yet people on here never believe me when I say they should read up on telling the differences between Mystery a.k.a. Apple Snail species before purchasing. Ladies and Gentlemen, here's your proof. Some species do get huge! Some do eat plants!

Great video, though, Helix. Nice and clear - not to mention your Apple Snails look great. Beautifully long tentacles, especially since that Gourami is in the tank.

[Lady Hobbs]

Whewie. Now that's a dandy. Snails like that I like. Unfortunately, pond snails is what I have. :(

Escargo for you there.

By rough guess based on measureing him to the tank, he's 5" long and 4" tall? That is a monster snail lol. Good looking guys though. Definitely some monsters.
