Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Chestnut Cowrie is an egg-shaped snail with a mantle that can completely cover its shell. There are "teeth" around the opening of the shell, which provides protection from predators. This type of Cowrie is native to the California waters, which means they do best in cooler water (around 72*F). Provide an environment with ample hiding places since this snail is nocturnal and will seek coverage during the day. During the night they will scoot around the rocks and glass grazing on algae. Use caution when adding to a reef aquarium because they are mostly herbivores but can nip on soft corals especially if there is not enough algae present.

- Add to an aquarium with ample rockwork
- For continued health, supplement with algae
- Prefers higher salinity
- Prefers a well-established aquarium
- Multiple can be added to an aquarium
- Cannot tolerate copper medications and high nitrates
- Reef safe with caution

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
