Please check the delivery dates below before placing your order.

1. Tank Size: Provide a spacious aquarium with a minimum of 10 gallons for a small group of snails.
2. Water Parameters:
   • Temperature: 70-82°F (21-28°C)
   • pH Level: 7.0-8.0
   • Water Hardness: 8-15 dGH
3. Substrate: Use a soft substrate, such as sand or smooth gravel, to prevent damage to their delicate foot.

1. Vegetarian Diet: Golden Apple Snails are primarily herbivores, feeding on aquatic plants. Include a variety of fresh vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and zucchini in their diet.
2. Supplemental Feed: Offer specialized snail food or algae wafers to ensure they receive proper nutrition. Calcium-rich foods are crucial for shell health.

1. Filtration: Maintain efficient filtration to keep the water clean and prevent the accumulation of waste.
2. Decor: Provide hiding places and surfaces for them to climb, such as rocks or driftwood. Live plants can serve both as decorations and a food source.
3. Lighting: Golden Apple Snails do well with moderate lighting. Avoid intense, direct light to prevent algae overgrowth.

1. Solitary Nature: Golden Apple Snails are generally peaceful, but they may show aggression toward each other if space and resources are limited.
2. Compatibility: They can coexist with most peaceful community fish, but avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.

1. Egg Clutches: Golden Apple Snails lay bright pink egg clutches above the waterline. Remove them if you wish to control population growth.
2. Separation: If breeding is not desired, keep a single snail or monitor population growth closely.

1. Shell Health: Ensure a balanced diet with sufficient calcium to promote strong shell growth. A lack of calcium can lead to shell deformities.
2. Water Quality: Regular water changes and proper filtration are essential to prevent waterborne illnesses.

• Invasive Species: Pomacea canaliculata can become invasive in non-native environments. Do not release them into the wild.
