The apple snail is not easy to lack oxygen. Because it can float to the surface when the dissolved oxygen in the water is insufficient, and breathe air directly. Therefore, it is not necessary to give it oxygen alone when raising it at home. However, when fish and snails are co-cultured or shrimp and snails are co-cultured, it is recommended to use an oxygen pump to pump oxygen. This is good for the growth of fish, shrimp and snails. In addition, in monoculture, if the breeding density is very large, it is also necessary to use oxygen pump to oxygen.
When breeding apple snails, it is generally not necessary to open the filter. There are two main reasons for this, one is that apple snail itself has a certain role in purifying water quality, not only can eat algae in water and tank walls, but also can eat fish and shrimp residues. Second, their size is relatively small, if the filter is opened, some small snails can easily be washed away. However, if the breeding density is very high, it is recommended to open the filter, which can absorb snail dung, improve water quality, and have certain benefits to their water quality.
The apple snail should change the water regularly. Usually change the water once a week, if there is filtration, you can change the water every 10-15 days. When changing water, we should pay attention to not changing all the water, about one third or one quarter. Every time you change the water, you should clean up the snail dung to prevent them from leaving in the water and polluting the water quality.
