Leopard Ramshorn Snail

Leopard Ramshorn Snails are primarily herbivorous and will graze on algae, biofilm, and decaying plant matter throughout the tank. Supplement their diet with blanched vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, and cucumber, as well as algae wafers and quality sinking pellets. Feed vegetables 2-3 times per week, removing uneaten portions after 24 hours to prevent water quality issues.

These snails are nocturnal and spend most of their time grazing on surfaces and substrate, helping to control algae growth and clean up detritus. They are slow-moving and peaceful, rarely interacting with other tank inhabitants. Leopard Ramshorns are known for their ability to seal themselves inside their shells when threatened or during unfavorable conditions.

Leopard Ramshorn Snails are hermaphrodites and breed readily in freshwater aquariums, laying clusters of clear jelly-like eggs on hard surfaces. Breeding can occur frequently, potentially leading to population explosions if not managed; consider removing egg clusters if overpopulation is a concern. Juveniles are tiny and may be difficult to spot initially but will grow rapidly with adequate food and stable water conditions.
