CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is the golden snail a freshwater snail or a marine snail? Is it easy to raise?

1. Is the golden snail a freshwater snail or a saltwater snail? Is it easy to raise?

It is a freshwater snail and relatively easy to raise.

It likes to live in fresh water with fresh water quality and sufficient bait. It often lives in clusters in shallow water areas near the pond, or attaches to the stems and leaves of aquatic plants, or floats on the water surface. It can leave the water body for a short time. The most suitable water temperature for growth is 25-32℃. The growth rate drops significantly above 35℃. The highest critical water temperature for survival is 45℃, and the lowest critical water temperature is 5℃. The golden apple snail has a wide diet. It is an omnivorous snail that mainly feeds on plant bait. Its staple food is duckweed, vegetables, fruits, etc. It especially likes to eat sweet food. Under artificial breeding conditions, it likes to eat concentrated feed such as corn and bran. The young snails mainly feed on fine duckweed, humus, and concentrated feed. When hungry, adult snails will also eat the remains of young snails and snail eggs.

2. Why don't apple snails like to move? I opened a new tank and put the small apple snails bred in the previous tank into it. After a while, they stopped moving.

Your new tank must not have been soaked in water. Simply put, a new tank is relatively dirty at the beginning, so it will be fine after using it for a while.

3. What can golden snails eat to keep their shells healthy?

The main thing to raise mystery snails is to prevent them from lacking calcium. But the problem you mentioned seems to be the water quality. The pH value of the water should be around 7.5. The water in the tank does not need to be changed every day. You can change it part by part. You can leave the tap water for a few days and let it dry in the sun. Mysterious snails also like to eat vegetable leaves, cabbage, spinach, etc., which must be cooked. When changing the water, keep the water clean and do not put oil or detergent in the water. It should be easy to raise.

4. Will the apple snail crawl out of the tank?

Yes. You should put a glass lid on the tank that is about the same size as the tank mouth, leaving a small gap for ventilation.
