 in the aquarium trade these snails are sometimes called "Pomacea" or incorrectly "Ampullarius", and in English as "[color] mystery snail" or "apple snail".Some species have been introduced outside their native range and are considered invasive because of their voracious appetite for plants.Because of this, imports involving this genus are restricted in some regions (including the United States) and are entirely banned in others (including the EU).
