The story of the girl with the snail is that once upon a time there was a fisherman who worked hard in the fields every day. One day, he came home from the field and found a steaming hot meal, and without thinking about it, the fisherman started eating.

After a few days in a row, he had to find out what was going on. It turned out that the snail girl had helped him cook the meal, and the two of them were later happily together.

Expanded Information

The main feeding organ of the snail is the tooth and tongue, which is used to scrape underwater and epiphytic food. In the natural environment, the snail mainly eats aquatic plants, young stems and leaves, algae, bacteria and organic debris, but also filter-feeding zooplankton, and prefer nocturnal activities and feeding.

The snail starts to move and feed at a water temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius, and the optimal temperature for growth is 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, and at 30 degrees Celsius or more, the snail will shrink its flesh into its shell and cluster in the shade or dive into the soil to avoid the heat, and the snail will die when the water temperature is more than 40 degrees Celsius.

The snail is highly adaptable to drought and cold, and hibernates in mud holes when the water temperature is below 8°C. The snail will come out of its holes and feed only when the water temperature rises to about 15°C in the spring of the following year. The snail is very sensitive to the dissolved oxygen in the water, when the dissolved oxygen in the water drops to 3.5mg/L, they are not feeding; 1.53.5mg/L, start to die.
