Question

How big will my apple snail get and how can i make it grow faster and bigger?

Answer 1

its true apple snails never stop growing until it dies but to make him grow faster is a different story. if you seperate your apple snail from your other fish you should give him some sinking shrimp pellets because they are bottom feeders but also put some live plants like anacharis because snails need a form of vegetation.

Answer 2

As far as I know they never quit growing until they die. There growth will slow down as they get older, but continue to grow. There is no real way to make them grow faster, but if they do not have enough food they will not grow as fast. When I had an apple snail, I fed him about 1/2 an allege pellet every day. If he eats all of that...feed him more. If he gets all the food he wants...he will grow!

Answer 3

Apple snails can grow to 6" (15cm).  Clean water and enough food e.g. vegetables such as lettuce, shelled peas will help your snail grow faster and also they like a higher temperature that is compatible with your other fish of course.  Watch their shell though because fast growth can lead to a thin shell, maybe try a little bit of cuttlefish (buy the ones in the petstore that birds eat) to increase their calcium levels.

Of course always make sure you don't inadvertantly deteriorate the health of your fish.
