Freshwater Turbo Snail
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Get your algae and detritus under control with the Freshwater Turbo Snail. They are a great addition to help keep uneaten food and algae at a minimum in community, outdoor ponds and planted aquariums. This peaceful snail will not bother other snails, fish or plants. Some defining characteristics of this snail is that they have gill and lung function so they can survive out of water, and an operculum. The operculum is a piece of shell that fits over the opening where the snails body extrudes from the shell. The snail can withdraw into its shell and protect itself by closing this "trapdoor" and sealing itself off from the outside world. This snail mostly relies of on detritus and algae as their food source, but if that becomes scarce be sure to supplement their diet with sinking pellets.

ACCLIMATION: 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. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, 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, unfiltered aquariums.

I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
We’ve recently bought a pet snail and I’m wondering if we should put calcium rich sand on the bottom of the tank we have some made for hermit crabs and I feel as though he shouldn’t be submerged in water all the time so should I put some down or is he fine? I’m unsure of what type of snail he is but the person at the shop said he was a cold water snail I think
Can freshwater hermit crabs be with a beta fish
How many snails can I have in a 55 gallon fish tank?
My pet red eared slider Snappy is always sleeping and doesn't eat it's food pellets that I gave him. He runs towards the dry area when I put him in the water and he floats. I have seen some very small worms when I put him in the water.
Is this snail is dead? If yes why?
How to get remove all planaria worms (crawling our aquarium glass in a tiny size )from freshwater tank ?
I have a green spotted puffer. I was wondering if it could be happy with an algae eating fish in brackish water?
My turtle has white spots on her shell but they are not soft?
Only a week ago I transferred my two red eared sliders to a preformed pond enclosure, cleaned the filter, added common goldfish from the pet store to the water -- Not adding the water they came in into the pond obviously. I noticed both had a dull white smudge/blotch on their plastron and tiny white hard bumps on their carapace, and I can't manage to pick them off. No dents or bad smells, clear eyes, clean water. Same diet besides one night of goldfish binging. Could they be calcium deposits?
I want to get an apple snail or a mystery snail. I have an indoor storage container pond where I will be putting one or two goldfish in. It doesn't have a top, so can the snails crawl out? If they can, how can I avoid it? Also someone told me to quarantine it, how do i do that?
I have a paradise betta and recently he has lost large chunks out of his tail fin. I don't think it is fin rot and I don't think he has caught it on any sharp edge on decorations in the tank. He is in a filtered 2.5-gallon tank and the only other living thing in the tank is a tiger snail. Can you help me? note: in the pictures, the first one is current but the one of the tank is a couple of weeks old. the only difference now is the leaf bed has been removed.
