Community

Also known as tower snails, are freshwater gastropods characterized by their distinctive shell shape resembling a pagoda or tower. These snails are popular in aquariums due to their attractive appearance and algae-eating habits, aiding in tank maintenance. 

Current Size – 3cm - 5cm

Adult Length – 6cm

Temperature Range – 22 – 30°C

pH Range – 7.2 – 8.5

Special Requirements - They prefer a slightly hard water environment to prevent shell erosion.

Tanks Mates and Compatibility – Because a Snail is slow moving and calm in disposition, they should be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates. Be sure to avoid rough and tumble types like Cichlids, Crayfish, Crabs, Goldfish and loaches, as they can eat, injure or kill the snails easily.

Feeding –  They are great scavengers and will eat detritus, alage and waste food. Supplementary wafers or pellets should be given where necessary and they should be rich in calcium.

Please note – Some images used are library photos and will show the colour potential at a fully mature size, as our fish are juveniles they may vary.
