Product description & details
Ideally suited as a starting population for breeding or feeding snails.
The bladder snail, Physa marmorata, is a small but extremely hard-working species of snail that keeps the aquarium clean. In addition, it is very easy to care for and easy to reproduce. The bladder snail is one of the smallest representatives of its kind, measuring just one centimeter in size. With its brown-greenish shell with light spots, it also looks pretty.It is also popular in the aquarium because it is an inconspicuous omnivore. It destroys all algae in the tank and therefore not only does not require any additional food, but also keeps the water clean. As a peaceful aquarium resident, it is ideal for any aquarium. At the same time, it is completely undemanding when it comes to water temperature, hardness and quality.
As a hermaphrodite, the bladder snail can reproduce extremely quickly. It deposits its egg strings on aquatic plants or aquarium decorations, where the young animals can then hatch. Because it is easy to reproduce, this snail is ideal for breeding as food for puffer fish, larger crabs or other snail eaters.
