which species of snail is the best?
GALS are illegal in the US, so i've been looking up helix snails. Unfortunately, you have to have a USDA permit to order them out of state, and i cant find any breeders in WA state. How are apple snails as feeders, does anyone know?

I wouldn't trust the petstore. Check your fish and wildlife site to verify: http://wdfw.wa.gov/
