Product information
Red racing snail - Vittina waigiensis
A really stunning new snail is the red racing snail Neritina waigiensis. It comes to us from the Philippines and enjoys great popularity among aquarists as an algae eater and great eye-catcher. It leaves plants alone, preferring to take care of coatings and algae films. The red racing snail does not reproduce in freshwater and therefore there is no danger of a snail plague, even with a very large food supply. - Garnelio
Description

The red racing snail originates from the Western Pacific (Philippines and Indonesia). There Vittina waigiensis alias Neritina waigiensis lives in freshwater streams that flow into the sea. The red racing snail reaches a shell length of up to 3 cm. It is a great algae eater and reliably frees the aquarium glass as well as the decoration from annoying coatings and algae films. It does not eat plants. Red racing snails are known to leave the aquarium when there is a lack of food or unfavorable water values and go on a migration. Therefore, please make sure you have a tight cover or apply our snail barrier to the top of open tanks. The snails do not crawl over this layer.

The Red Racing Snail is not a hermaphrodite, there are males and females, but unfortunately they cannot be distinguished from the outside. Female red racing snails lay whitish to beige egg cocoons, which they attach to hard substrates. Veliger larvae develop in these egg cocoons, which in nature are washed into the sea by the current and grow into snails there. In the aquarium, the larvae cannot survive, so reproduction is impossible.

Initially, the Red Racing Snail eats only algae coverings, but it can be accustomed to other food over time. The transition can be eased for Neritina waigiensis with the special feeding turf forming snail feed from NatureHolic, also brown foliage and Hokkaido pumpkin is taken very gladly from the beginning.

In fresh aquariums, where there is not yet sufficient biofilm and algae cover, the Red Racing Snail will gradually starve to death. Malnutrition can be recognized by the fact that the foot of the snail appears too small for the shell opening and looks wrinkled. A well developed snail has a smooth foot , which is slightly larger than the opening.

Neritina waigiensis prefers medium hard to hard water and water temperatures of 20-28 degrees. In aquariums from 40 cm in length up to three red racing snails can be kept permanently. 

The Red Racing Snail has a thick, resistant shell and a tightly closing lid (operculum), and its round shell shape also makes it less vulnerable. For this reason, they can be socialized with almost all fish, crustaceans, shrimp and snails that do not specifically eat 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 like racing sn ails 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 them for 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 when keeping invertebrates the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your invertebrates. 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.

Question: "Hallo, wie viele Schnecken sollten zusammenleben damit sie nicht einsam sind?"

from Kevin (Garnelio)

from Kevin (Garnelio)

Hallo,

das ist den Tieren völlig egal. Die wichtigere Frage ist in dem Fall wie groß ist dein Becken und finden die Tiere genug Futter. Insbesondere Rennschnecken sind auf Algen als Bestandteil ihrer Nahrung angewiesen

Question: "Kann ich die mit Schachbrett Schmerlen halten? Ich habe sie seit Jahren und sie sind nur 4 cm groß "

from Kevin (Garnelio)
Reply

Hallo Marco,

das würden wir nicht empfehlen. Die Schmerlen beissen dann oftmals ständig in die Schnecken was zu Stress für die Tiere und zum versterben führen kann.

Question: "Wenn ich 6 ROTE Rennschnecken bestelle bekomme ich dann auch wirklich alle 6 ROTE oder aber gemischte bzw 1 Rote und den Rest orange oder gestreift? LG EW "

Hallo,

die Tiere sehen alle unterschoedlich aus, die Art ist als Rote Rennschnecke wissenschaftlich beschrieben, das bedeutet jedoch nicht dass jedes Tier Rot ist

Beide Schnecken haben nach der langen Reise länger gebraucht, bis sie sich bewegt haben und das neue Aquarium erkunden wollten.
Bei der Ankunft saß eine Schnecke auf der anderen und hat sich auch die ganze Zeit während der Eingewöhnungsphase nicht von der anderen Schnecke gelöst. Erst beim Einsetzten ins Aquarium lösten sie sich von einander.
Abgesehen vom kalten Wasser (trotz Wärmeakku) war sonst alles in Ordnung bei den Schnecken .
