Sinensis snail is a kind of snail that is relatively easy to feed. It does not have strict requirements on the growth environment. It only needs to meet the requirements in terms of temperature, pH, salinity, hardness, and food.
1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for Sinophora to survive is 20 degrees to 26 degrees, so it is best to raise it at such a temperature, which is the most active and healthy.
2. Acidity and alkalinity: Sinellae need to live in an alkaline environment, and an excessively acidic environment will cause them to dissolve their shells. Therefore, it is better to cultivate C. sinensis in the environment with PH value of 7 to 7.8.
3. Hardness: Under certain hard water conditions, the hardness in water should be maintained between 8 and 18. Hard water conditions allow the snails to get more calcium, which is good for their hard shell.
4. Food: The main food of C. chinensis is all kinds of algae in the water, especially chlorophyllum and brown algae in the water. As a result, the sinensis is often used as a tool for algae removal in aquariums. They can also be fed some fish food or shrimp food when they are fed artificially. Even the residue of some steamed buns and biscuits is soft in water, they like to eat very much.
5. Salinity: Sinophora chinensis belongs to Aspira. Therefore, when raising them, they need to be placed in water with a certain salinity.
