from over 3,000 reviews "A beautiful new snail is the Thai swamp lidded sn ail or tiger lidded snail, Filopaludina sumatrensis polygramma.
Filopaludina sumatrensis polygramma comes from Thailand. There it is widespread. Its shell is beige to light brown and has fine dark brown spiral stripes, which has earned it the name tiger louver snail. Its shell can reach a size of up to 4 cm.
The separately-sexed tiger lacewing is a viviparous snail and belongs to the family Viviparidae. The young are born mainly at night. The males can be recognized by their thickened right antennae. In females, both antennae are equally thin.
As a filter-feeding sn ail, the Tiger Mud Snail needs dust food, but it also likes to graze algae and biofilms from the setup. After some time in the aquarium it will also accept special snail food as well as food tablets and vegetables such as Hokkaido pumpkinBrown autumn leaves always belongs in the invertebrate aquarium anyway, it is very gladly grazed by Filopaludina sumatrensis polygramma.
The tiger blanket snail is not suitable for every community tank, it rather needs quiet company. Fan shrimp and mussels are very suitable aquarium companions for them as dust feeders.
A mud corner with healing clay has proven successful for the tiger trumpet snail. A thick layer of mulm is also advantageous. It prefers water values in the soft to medium-hard range. An aquarium from 30 l is sufficient for a small group of 5 snails. Keep a close eye on the water values and do not neglect water hygiene - this is important in all tanks where a lot of dust food is given.
Our food recommendation: With the Natureholic Snail Feed Power Paste you create a feeding lawn, which is very well accepted by all growth eating snails. Even delicate wild-caught snails such as racing snails or staghorn snails, which are stressed after transport and do not accept conventional food, can be fed up well with it.
Our plant recommendation: Use 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 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.
