Diet
Detritivorous. Ramshorn Snails primarily feed on decaying plant matter, algae, and leftover fish food. They are excellent scavengers and help clean up the aquarium by consuming organic debris.
Community Compatibility
Ramshorn Snails are generally compatible with peaceful community fish and other invertebrates. They can coexist with a variety of fish species, including tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and livebearers. However, avoid keeping them with fish species known to eat or harass snails.
Gender Differences
Ramshorn Snails are hermaphroditic, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs. They can self-fertilize and produce offspring without the need for a mate.
