So it could be seen that Roman snails do feed on parsley, but only in spring, not in the rest of the year. Basil will be eaten by snails also only part of the year. Concerning wild plants the feeding behaviour of snails can also be very different. Clover is a favourite snail food, but dandelion is not.
Algae is a major food source for snails. Algae will grow on its own in your tank even without fish present. The more light your tank receives and the warmer the water temperature, the more algae will grow on the tank walls, gravel, decorations and plants. Mystery snails (Pomacea bridgesii) often eat algae off healthy plants but not the plants themselves.
