Assorted Ramshorn Snails Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Ramshorn Snails' lifespan?
The average lifespan of a Ramshorn Snail is 1 to 2 years in a well-maintained freshwater aquarium. With proper water quality, consistent feeding, and access to calcium for healthy shell development, some ramshorn snails can live slightly longer. Keeping stable tank conditions and avoiding copper-based medications will help maximize their life expectancy.
How big do Ramshorn Snails get?
Ramshorn Snails typically grow up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, though some may reach slightly larger sizes depending on diet and tank conditions. Their coiled, flat spiral shells resemble a ram's horn, which gives them their name. Their small size and low bioload make them ideal for nano tanks, planted tanks, and shrimp aquariums.
Do Ramshorn Snails eat live plants?
Healthy Ramshorn Snails do not eat live, healthy plants. They primarily feed on algae, biofilm, leftover fish food, and decaying plant matter. However, in underfed or overcrowded conditions, they may nibble on soft or deteriorating plant leaves. Providing a well-balanced diet with algae wafers and blanched vegetables will prevent them from turning to live plants as a food source.
