from over 3,000 reviews "The quite active capucchino snails belong to the species Faunus ater. These pretty large snails with the typical coloration from almost white to reddish brown to dark brown to almost black from the tip to the foot come from Southeast Asia, where they usually live just before or also in the brackish estuaries of larger rivers. Thus, they are accustomed to fluctuations in salinity, and even in pure fresh water, cappuccino snails are durable. Their final size is about 8 cm. Faunus ater is a rather uncomplicated and active snail, which hardly digs.
Cappucchino snails are bisexual, but the sexes look identical and cannot be distinguished. Veliger larvae hatch from the egg cocoons and are washed into the sea with the current, where they develop into snails. Therefore, Faunus ater cannot be propagated in freshwater aquariums.
Cappucchino snails do not eat aquatic plants, but they successfully consume algae deposits and other biofilms. They also readily accept food scraps, vegetables and of course special snail food .
The cappucino snail has no problems with peaceful fish and shrimp, and dwarf crayfish cannot harm it either because of its very thick, stable shell. Of course, it should not be kept together with snail eaters such as predatory snails or crabs and fish that specialize in snails.
Our food recommendation: With the Natureholic Snail Feed Power Paste you create a feeding lawn that is very well accepted by all aufwuchs feeding snails. Also delicate wild-caught snails such as racing snails or staghorn snails, which are stressed after transport and do not go to conventional food, can be fed up well with it.
Our plant recommendation: Use for the planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
Actively prevent outbreaks: With the invisible Natureholic Snail Barrier you prevent the escape and loss of your snails from the aquarium.
