They are good for eating leftover food, algae, and decaying plant matter in aquariums. This species reproduces at a rapid rate, making them a "pest" snail species.

Unless experienced with fish-in cycling, we always suggest cycling an aquarium BEFORE adding fish. Adding fish to a fresh, un-cycled aquarium can kill them rapidly. We offer free water testing at our physical location, and advice via email or call.
