Aquarium Care Tips
Provide stable water conditions and a varied food supply. Although Black Ramshorn Snails graze on algae and biofilm, they may need supplemental food in very clean aquariums. Avoid overfeeding, as excess food can encourage rapid population growth. Adequate calcium and suitable water hardness help support healthy shell development.
