Water Snails
We keep most of them at around 20*C with live plants and no other tank mates.
All of our water snails live in freshwater and are happy either in a pond, tank or tub.
We feed them on the usual diet of algae, algae wafers, fish food and once a week they enjoy a slice of courgette, broccoli or carrot.
Water snails will need a source of calcium, we use limestone rocks and try to keep the PH levels at around 7.0 which they seem to like but if you are keeping them with fish or other aquatics you will need to do your own research as to calcium, ph & nitrate levels.
