A newly filled tank is not ready for animals just because the water looks clear. This snail needs a tank with enough naturally growing algae to eat. Check that it is eating; it may not accept pellets or other prepared foods. Keep water conditions steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping it with other animals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose gentle fish and other animals.
