Apple Snails
Apple Snails are freshwater snails belonging to the family Ampullariidae. They are known for their large, rounded shells, which can vary in color from yellow to brown. These snails are often found in slow-moving waters, such as ponds and marshes, where they feed on aquatic plants and detritus.
These snails are popular in aquariums due to their ability to help control algae growth. However, in some regions, Apple Snails are considered invasive species, as they can reproduce quickly and disrupt local ecosystems. Proper care and management are essential to prevent their spread in non-native habitats.
