Apple Snail - Ampullariidae sp XL 5-6cm

from £3.99

Apple Snails are a diverse group of freshwater snails known for their large, round shells and vibrant colors, which can range from solid hues to intricate patterns. They are popular in aquariums due to their peaceful nature and their ability to help keep the tank clean by consuming algae and detritus. Apple Snails are also known for their interesting behavior, such as laying eggs above the waterline, which can be a fascinating sight for aquarium enthusiasts. These snails are relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a well-maintained tank with stable water parameters. They benefit from a varied diet that includes both plant matter and high-quality snail pellets. Apple Snails are particularly good at breaking down excess food and organic waste, making them a valuable addition to any freshwater aquarium. However, they can reproduce quickly, so it's important to monitor their population to avoid overpopulation. Their unique appearance and helpful cleaning habits make them a favorite among aquarists looking to add both beauty and functionality to their tanks.
