I’m setting up my 6 gallon planted tank, and getting an apple snail. I will also be either getting a betta or cherry shrimp in the future. Will the snail do by themselves, or should I get a second snail?
Not all "Apple" snails are created equal. Most Mystery snails are Apple Snails but not all Apple snails are Mystery snails. And this make a big difference. You do not was Pomacea maculata. This bad boy can reach 5"-6". In many states they are illegal.
Instead, you want Pomacea bridgesii or Mystery snail.
Like Mr. Grumpy said, they can certainly live alone.
