TGA Fancy Track Snail - Clithon sowerianum

The Fancy Track snail is scientifically named Clithon sowerianum and lives up to its name with its appearance. It originates from the estuaries of small Indo-Pacific streams. The various black markings on the bright thick-shelled shell give it an attractive appearance, which is especially striking among green aquatic plants.

Because the Fancy Tack does not reproduce in freshwater, you don't have to worry about a snail infestation. It is bisexual, but it is not really possible to determine the sex from the outside. The females also lay small white egg cocoons in the aquarium. The larvae that hatch from these eggs need brackish or seawater to breed.

You can also socialize the just 2 cm growing staghorn snail well with other peaceful fish, because it is safe from them due to its shell shape. Shrimps, other snails or mussels are also suitable.

The Fancy Tack is an algae eater, which you better put only in well established aquariums. It grazes algae deposits and also other deposits. This way you keep your panes sparkling clean. It is especially popular in aquascape.
