Just out of curiosity as I don't want to overload my tank, can I add a golden mystery snail to this?

5.5 gal heated and filtered soil based NPT planted with
-cardimine
-wisteria
-anubia
-duckweed
-moneywort
-anacharis
-banana lilly
-micro sword
-mint charlie

Livestock:
1 MTS (it hasn't multiplied yet as I just put the single one in 1 week ago)
2 ghost shrimp
1 non-aggressive male betta

I just love the look of the golden mystery snails... they're really quite pretty...

I'd say you can add the snail since it is a NPT.

Are apple snails a problem with plants? I have mine in a 5.5 npt w/ moneywort, hornwort, and water wisteria.

I can get veggies, that's not really a problem... how many times do you suggest I feed, say... a piece of cucumber... a week? I also have some algae wafers that were given to me

I've been looking on applesnail.net and the mystery snails should leave thriving plants alone but eat dying and decaying bits and can be fed with veggies and algae tabs and regular fish flakes... so I may go get one next friday
