Apple Snail Breeding Methods:
The apple snail does not have a strong interest in hydrological conditions such as water temperature and water quality. , water quality and other hydrological conditions are not fussy, the apple snail in the water dissolved oxygen is insufficient, upward to the water line to breathe. When the water contains harsh chemicals, the apple snail will turn yellow and remain motionless, and furthermore die. These characteristics of the apple snail can be utilized to monitor the water quality in the aquarium.
The apple snail's diet consists mainly of algae attached to the tank, and it can also eat ornamental fish feed left in the tank. Therefore it is also easy to keep in captivity in the absence of algae. Apple snail is a tropical snail water temperature should be maintained in the range of 18-28 degrees Celsius.
When the water temperature increases, the activity of apple snails also increases, at 18 degrees they are almost immobile. It is only at 24 degrees Celsius or higher that their graceful behavior can be observed. Temperature not only affects their activity level, but is also an important factor in determining their lifespan. At high temperatures, their life cycle (from birth to death) decreases from four years (in low temperatures) to less than one year, and their reproductive rate increases with water temperature.
