RE: apple snails with apisto?



i can't imagine the sanils (depending how many you have in the tank) being
able to prey on all the fry the apisto could have.

thanks Yvan,
I already have them, my own breed for a few generations, so that's not the
issue.
the reason I ask is, that I try to create a biotope tank, where the apistos
will breed and some of the offsprings will survive, with the snails as kinda
sanitary service. I wonder if that's possible...
