Planorbella duryi - blue posthorn snail

Behavior in the aquarium
The Posthorn Snail is a nice resident for almost any community aquarium. It also looks great in a shrimp aquarium. Planorbella duryi does an excellent job when it comes to cleaning up uneaten fish food, dead or dying plant matter, dirt residue or algae growth on hard surfaces. In young animals you can see how they digest their food because their houses are still thin and transparent. As they get older, the color of the house will become more intense. It's also nice that they often eat together. Once one snail has found food, it won't be long before the rest join in. These snails are quite easy to care for and suitable for beginners.

Water quality
Planorbella duryi prefers somewhat harder, slightly alkaline water. Soft, acidic water will have a bad effect on their home. They do less well at high levels of nitrate, nitrite, metals and medicine residues. Also avoid as many fluctuations in the water as possible. Good water parameters are a pH of 7.0-7.5 and a hardness of 10-20 dGH. An optimal temperature is between 18-25°C.

Power supply
In the aquarium they will feed on all kinds of plant material (algae, dead plant remains, etc.), but dead animals will also be eaten. Excess fish food from flakes and food tablets is also eaten. They are real cleaners. They will look for food in every corner of the aquarium. The window is also regularly grazed clean, which makes these animals a great help in aquarium maintenance. Calcium-rich food is recommended for good development of the house.

Extra information
Blue posthorn snails have adapted to survive in muddy, murky water with low oxygen levels. They can breathe air and store it in their house to stay underwater for a long time. This species lays eggs in a lump of gel. The eggs hatch in freshwater, making breeding in the aquarium relatively easy.

Planorbella duryi are fun, active snails for the aquarium that are always looking for food!
