Here's a sneak peek at what we'll cover:

Scientific Name: Physa acuta
Origin: Widespread freshwater snail (considered invasive in some areas)
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 65°F - 82°F (18°C - 28°C)
pH: 6.5 - 8.0 (slightly acidic to slightly alkaline)
Ammonia: 0 ppm (ammonia is toxic to snails)
Nitrite: 0 ppm (nitrite is toxic to snails)
Nitrate: Below 20 ppm (high nitrate levels can harm some snail species)
Tank Size: They can survive in a variety of tank sizes, but a minimum of 2 gallons is recommended to avoid overcrowding and maintain good water quality.
Tank Setup:
Substrate: They prefer soft substrates like sand or gravel where they can burrow.
Plants: Live plants are beneficial as they provide hiding spots, grazing opportunities, and help maintain water quality.
Decorations: Caves, driftwood, and other hiding spots are appreciated.
Diet: Omnivorous. They will scavenge for decaying organic matter, algae, biofilm, and leftover fish food. You can supplement their diet with blanched vegetables like zucchini, cucumber, or spinach.
Compatibility: Peaceful with most fish and invertebrates. However, avoid housing them with aggressive fish that might prey on them.
Breeding: Hermaphroditic (one individual can reproduce on its own). They can reproduce quickly in favorable conditions.
Lifespan: 1-2 years
Maintenance: Regular water changes are essential to maintain good water quality and prevent ammonia spikes.
Care Level: Easy
Special Notes:
Bladder snails can be beneficial in an aquarium as they help clean up detritus and algae. However, their population can explode if there's an abundance of food.
If you don't want a large bladder snail population, control their food source, remove egg sacs regularly, or introduce snail-eating fish (only if compatible with your other tank inhabitants).
