Apple Snail

Aquarium snails play an important role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem by consuming excess algae and detritus. They are known for their calm and peaceful temperament, making them great additions to any aquarium community. Temperature is an important factor for aquarium snails because sudden temperature fluctuations should be avoided as it can stress or harm the snails. Proper lighting is essential for snails as they rely on it for their natural behaviors like feeding and reproduction. Moderate lighting with a photoperiod of around 8-10 hours per day is recommended. Some species of aquarium snails reproduce rapidly, so it’s important to monitor their population size, overfeeding or poor tank maintenance can lead to excessive population growth.
