Sinensis snails eat algae, and they like to eat many kinds of food, including algae.
1. Algae in the water: This is what the sinensis likes best. They can effectively remove algae in the water, especially brown algae.
2, omnivorous: In addition to algae in the water, they also like to eat some food residues, such as fish and shrimp food residues and some boiled fruits and vegetables, steamed buns soaked in the water, biscuit crumbs and so on.
Sinonemelania is the first choice for removing algae. Because their main food is algae in the water, especially brown algae in the water. This kind of brown algae not only affects the beauty of the fish tank, but also affects the photosynthesis of the plants in the tank, and even affects the health of the fish and shrimp in the tank. In this case, they can be used to remove algae, because they will not cause damage to aquatic plants, and will not reproduce in fresh water, and the eggs laid can not hatch.
But there is one problem that should be considered when using Sinonemus to remove algae. Sinonemus is a snail that grows in salt water, and they die easily in fresh water.
