<h1>Hello everyone, I am a red dust passerby, today to tell you about these three kinds of snails! Of course, there are many organisms in the grass tank to remove algae, and there are many snails in the algae removal, but I have only been in contact with these three kinds, and the others are not very well understood! </h1>
First of all, I am talking about the apple snail, which should be very familiar to the fish at home, freshwater feeding! Generally used as a grass tank to remove algae, there are red, pink, leopard print, blue and other color types, the figure is relatively petite, the adult body is generally 1-2cm, healthy apple snail body is translucent, the body color is bright and uniform, very ornamental!
Apple snails are very simple to raise, belong to the entry level, there are no too high requirements for food, light, temperature, adapt to the environment will breed rapidly! Its algae removal effect is how to say, I found that it still has a certain effect on brown algae, green spot algae, and will eat the dead fish and shrimp that have not had time to clean up, but also like the black shell to rely on the number of victory! Since the apple snail is hermaphrodite, it is easy to burst the cylinder, and the dense patch is very affecting the ornamentality! It's not easy to get rid of them all, I usually trap some and crush them to feed an eyebrow and a black shell! A bit cruel ha!
The second thing to say is that the black diamond snail, also known as the military hat snail, the whole body is black, the tail is a little prominent, the personality is very gentle, I like to eat the green algae on the wall of the tank, all the way through as clean as a bulldozer,
There are also many disadvantages of the king snail, because it is a soda snail, although there is no need to worry about bursting the cylinder, but it will grow a lot of white eggs on the cylinder wall and sunken wood, although it cannot hatch but will not disappear for a long time, manual cleaning is also very laborious, there are dense phobias cautiously, and it also loves to turn over the bottom mud, some foreground grasses such as dwarf pearls and small leaves will often be turned up and floated up, and must be replanted!
Finally, there is the abalone snail, as the name suggests, because the shape and pattern are long like abalone and named, the common is the network pattern, and some places also call them hedge snails or snails! Its clearing effect is similar to that of the black diamond snail, but it will not lay as many eggs as black diamond, which is completely acceptable, and it will not burst the cylinder like the apple snail to show you! It can be said that it is a real expert in algae removal
There are pros and cons, although it is very strong in all aspects but there is a weakness, that is, I heard that it is not easy to feed, because the abalone snail likes weak alkaline water quality, and generally put it in a weak acidic grass tank to remove algae, after a period of time will soften the shell and die! I have bought 5 of them before, and one of them may have been injured due to hard pulling when he put it in the tank after finishing the water, and it hung up after a few days. The other four are still alive in my straw tank for half a year and working hard every day! Therefore, some things can not always listen to others, or experiment to come to the best conclusion!
Well, today is here, if there is something wrong, welcome the gods to comment and correct! Thank you
