The black diamond snail is relatively easy to raise, and they can live for a long time, with an average life span of 1 to 2 years. After careful breeding, the black diamond snail can live for about three years, which is basically its longest life span. If you want the black diamond snail to live for three years, you need to meet the following conditions:
1. Temperature: The temperature for feeding the black diamond snail needs to be controlled between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius, preferably around 26 degrees Celsius. At this time, the black diamond snail is most active. And it is better to keep the water temperature unchanged, so it is also important to provide them with a stable environment.
2. Water quality: If the black diamond snail grows in acidic or calcareous water, it will not survive for a long time. For them to survive for a long time, they must provide an alkaline environment, that is, an environment with a PH value between 6.9 and 7.7.
3. Food: There are many foods that the black diamond snail can eat, among which the green spot algae is its favorite. When breeding, they should be provided with sufficient food. It is best to feed them twice a day to provide nutrition. So they can live longer.
The black diamond snail can grow to four or five centimeters in size, about the size of a human index finger. But this can only be achieved if food is sufficient and the environment is suitable. If there is a lack of food or a poor breeding environment, they can not grow to such a large size.
