Apple Snails in many colours

20. April 2012

Currently we can offer Apple Snails in many interesting colours. These beautiful snails are easy to keep and can get a size of about 5 cm in diameter. In the aquarium, they should be fed regularly like fish, for Apple Snails are heavy feeders and cannot survive with the remains of the fish only. There is no danger of a infestation in Apple Snails, for the eggs are deposited outside the water and can be removed easily as long as no offspring is wanted. The egg cluster remains one a bit in an oversized raspberry due to its colour and shape. Apple Snails are not hermaphrodites, like many other snails. The sexes cannot be distinguished externally, so one has to buy a number of animals to make it likely that both sexes are represented.
