apple snails will eat plants. At petsmart the ones that arent gold or yellow are blue, white, and usually black BRIGS which dont eat plants

not all apple snails eat plants. P. bridgesii are apple snails yet dont eat plants. A.spixi are a good apple snail too. MTS are a good clean up crew and hide in the gravel most of the day and eat at night.

"Apple snails" refers to many species, some of which do and some of which do not eat plants. The snails at Petsmart are all plant-safe. They only sell Pomacea bridgesii, an apple snails species which does not eat live, healthy plants. All the snails there are different color morphs of P. bridgesii.
