Snail is omnivorous. In the natural environment, it mainly eats tender stems and leaves of aquatic plants, algae, bacteria and organic debris, and also filters plankton, and likes to move at night and eat.

when the water temperature is about 15℃, the snail begins to move and feed, and the optimum temperature for growth is 2~28℃. When the temperature is above 3℃, the snail will shrink its body into the snail shell, gather in the shade or dive into the soil to escape the heat, and when the water temperature exceeds 4℃, the snail will die. It has strong adaptability to drought and cold. When the water temperature is lower than 8c|C, the river snail will dive into the mud hole to hibernate, and when the water temperature rises to about 15℃ in the spring of next year, the river snail will re-enter the hole and eat.
