Cassandra's Notes:
Useful and attractive!
These little guys play such an important role in a balanced aquarium. They are nature's recyclers, and work tirelessly to scrub detritus, algae and fish poo from your tank.
Peaceful and easy- going, these snails do not eat live plants, but you may see them resting on green foliage in order to scrub away any algae, dead plant matter, or biofilms on the surface.
These guys are undemanding, but would prefer a planted, community tank within normal parameters. They do like a bit of cuttlebone here and there to keep their shells hard and clear. Grab some of that here: Cuttlebone by Weight. Mine are grown in tanks of Ph 7-8, KH 2-8, GH 7-15, and a temperature of 65 to 85.
Under 40F where you are? Don’t forget your HEAT PACK!
Do note that these types of snails (Planorbidae) may reproduce quickly in aquariums that get overfed. I typically use them as a sort of bellwether of the feeding levels in my aquariums. If I suddenly see a bump in baby snail numbers, I know that tank has a lot of extra food lying around. All tanks will eventually reach some kind of equilibrium of breeding and available food. In the meanwhile, hey... it's just more cleanup crew!
