I have a snail breeder with these snails, plus some mystery snails. You might have to worry about the apple snail making the water dirty, since they eat a lot of food. I would love to see a softball sized snail in your 10g.

[rivendel]

Not all apple snails grow to softball size.

Pomacea diffusa-golfball
Pomacea canaliculata-baseball
Pomacea haustrum and Pomacea insularum-softball

Rivendel, chances are your snail is a P. diffusa. They grow no more than 2 inches and should be fine with your Marisa cornuarietis however your tank needs another filter to cope with the bioload and more water changes.

I think a 10g is too small for more.
