The survival ability of the coconut snail is very strong, and it only needs to pay special attention to the seawater environment and food when raising. They are different from omnivorous snails, their main food is meat, the most favorite is scallop food, but also can feed some slow-moving fish and shrimp.
1. Temperature: It is best to control the temperature of coconut snails between 24 and 27 degrees. This temperate and tropical snail is more adapted to this temperature. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect their survival.
2. PH: Coconut snails, like most snails, also need to live in alkaline water environment. If the water is too acidic, coconut snails will face the risk of shell dissolution, alkaline water environment is more conducive to their health.
3. Salinity: Coconut snails like to live in the sea water, so pay attention to the proportion of salinity in the water when breeding. It is best to control the salinity between 1.020 and 1.025, which is the most suitable condition for their survival.
4. Food: The coconut snail is a carnivorous snail. Therefore, the cultivation of coconut snails is different from that of other snails. They like to eat shellfish food, and some small fish and shrimps close to the bottom sediment often become their meals. Therefore, when raising coconut snails, some shells or small fish and shrimps can be fed.
