Apple Snail (Ampullariiadae):
The Apple Snail was originally purchased by many aquarium owners to maintain the aquarium plants. However, many snails either escaped or were released, and have been causing problems ever since.
The Apple Snails eat the native plants in a body of water which both reduces the habitat of the native species, and the amount of oxygen in the water.
How to combat this species:
Ducks, fish, and red ants eat their eggs. Some groups of people put substances in the water to kill the snails and their eggs.
