Product information
Zebra apple snail - Asolene spixi
The pretty Zebra Apple Snail is quite an assertive little animal. Their robustness makes them attractive to keep in invertebrate tanks. Their pretty coloration and patterning do the rest. This small apple snail is not only very useful as a health policeman in the aquarium, it is also a great eye-catcher especially in predominantly green planted aquariums. Their breeding is uncomplicated, nevertheless one does not have to fear a population explosion. - Garnelio
Description

The zebra apple snail Asolene spixi is native to southeastern Brazil. It is also known as dwarf apple snail, striped apple snail or spixi snail. Since it does not belong to the genus Pomacea, it is not affected by the ban on these animals in the EU. It has a cream to light yellow shell with dark spiral thin stripes and a light, almost white body. With these colors the snail sets very nice accents in planted aquariums. It grows only about 3 centimeters in diameter and thus remains quite small for an apple snail.

Like all snails of its kind the Zebra Apple Snail eats not only algae, but also food remains, vegetables, carrion and detrius. Occasionally it has been reported to eat clutches of other snails as well. It keeps the aquarium clean through its natural feeding behavior and acts as a health police in the water. Our Zebra Apple Snails are absolute AlgaePlate fanatics and every now and then they get a plate of algae that can easily last a week in the tank.

They are active during the day and at night and sometimes burrow into the substrate. Although it moves relatively slowly and almost jerky, it is very assertive against other snail species and quite robust in the attitude.

Asolene spixi can besocialized very well with Dwarf shrimpother robust peaceful snails, and also with mussels and peaceful, not too curious fish.

The breeding of the Zebra Apple Snail is very simple. After mating, the female Asolene spixi lays her grape-shaped clutches, surrounded by a gelatinous mass, on aquatic plants or the aquarium glass. The inside of coconut burrows is also very popular for egg laying. After 3-4 weeks, fully developed snails hatch, which can be raised largely without problems. However, Zebra Apple Snails are not as prolific as for example Paradise Snails, an overpopulation of the aquarium is not to be feared. We are also constantly looking for German offspring and would be happy to take back snails. The sexes can be distinguished quite well with a little practice, the penis of the males sits as with all apple snails to the right of the head and is sometimes visible.

Our food recommendation: With the Natureholic Snail Feed Power Paste you create a feeding lawn, which is very well accepted by all aufwuchs feeding snails. It can also be used to feed and boost delicate wild-caught snails such as racing snails or staghorn snails, which are stressed after transport and do not take to conventional food.

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.

Die Lieferung kam pünktlich und es ist schön zu wissen, dass die Tiere nicht unnötig lange transportiert werden. Der Temperaturpad war zwar nicht mehr warm, doch das hat den Schnecken nichts ausgemacht. Sie erfreuen sich im neuen Zuhause :).
Die Apfelschnecken sind sehr schön und entsprechen vollends der Beschreibung.

Hallo Walter, vielen Dank fuer deine Frage! Das kann ich dir mit einem einfach Ja beantworten. 

Question: "Moin, ich habe gelesen, dass diese Schnecken auch an Gelege anderer Schnecken gehen. Kann ich mit Spixis meine Mützenschnecken dezimieren? Grüsse, Basse"

Hallo Sebastian, vielen Dank für deine Nachricht! Zebra Apfelschnecken sind sicherlich keine Kostverächter, ob sie ausreichen um eine paarungsfreudige Schneckenart in Schach zu halten ist allerdings fragwürdig.

Question: "Ich habe ganz viele Zebra Apfelschnecken, nehmt ihr welche ab? Ich weiß nicht mehr wohin damit. "

Schöne Schnecke. Eine allerdings recht klein. Kaum zu sehen, da sie sich in der Eingewöhnungsphase gerne einbuddeln.

Hallo Dieter,

Wir schicken bewusst junge Tiere an dennen sie lange freude haben werden. Es macht keinen Sinn die von unsern Züchtern aussorierten ausgewachsene Tiere zuzusenden die nur noch wenige Monate leben. Normalerweise buddeln sich Zebra Apfelschnecken nicht ein. Wir empfehlen einen großen Wasserwechsel.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Felix
