TGA Black Venom - Tower Ceiling Snail

Black Venom - Tower Ceiling Snail

The Black Venom peaked snail Melanoides sp. is an exception compared to other snails and is therefore easy to distinguish from its relatives. Its snail shell is elongated, pointed and can be closed with a lid at the front. Unlike the other representatives, it is a pure gill-breather. Often some aquarists do not even know that they are in possession of these snails, because these animals live in the substrate and are not visible during the day. Only when night falls do the animals leave the substrate. This species has the advantage that it contributes to the loosening and aeration of the substrate by regularly plowing it up. But it does not only do something good for the soil, but also for the plant growth, as it brings nutrients directly to the roots of the plants through its burrowing activity. In this way, the formation of rot in the substrate is also virtually eliminated. The diet of the tower lid snail consists of plant remains, dead tissue of fish and whatever else sinks to the substrate.
