 A definite must-have for apple snail owners July 3, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book provides a lot of good information on the world of apple snails, covering much much more than just how to keep them in an aquarium. However, this book should not be confused for the many "how-to" books on various aspects of setting up aquariums. It does not give step-by-step instructions for keeping a snail. Instead, it provides detailed information on the different species and their wild habitats (and how this affects their needs when kept in aquariums) and the result is a great understanding of the ampularids as much more than just tank-cleaners. If you own an apple snail and want to what its needs are so you can keep it as healthy and happy as possible, this book is an outstanding resource.
 Why did they call it that? July 18, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Overall the book was quite good, however I do not know why they call it Apple Snails "IN THE AQUARIUM" Only one small chapter in the book is dedicated to that. If you are looking for a good book about Apple Snails this is it. However if you are looking for a book about keeping pet apple snails the info is very limited! You can find that information for free on the web.
A real must for aquarists interested in freshwater snails! June 25, 1999
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
This title covers all important species of apple snails of the world. It gives taxonomic information, help in distinguishing the species, general apple snail biology, snails in their natural habitat and in the aquarium. It is written by real experts and rectifies many scientific errors that are only too common in fish books that also cover freshwater snails. The text and the photos are both very good and the print quality of this book (especially the photos) is excellent. It is a real must for aquarists who see in apple snails more than a tank cleaning device. I really did not expect that much when I bought this book!
