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.
