It is best to use sand to raise Malay snails. Although it is possible to raise Malay snails without sand, using sand can make Malay snails healthier and more energetic. Specifically, there are the following two advantages:
1, the Malay snail has the habit of turning sand. It often likes to turn over the sand, if there is no sand, it will shrink in the shell. This will affect the ornamental tank, and is not conducive to the healthy growth of the Malay snail.
2. Malay snails like to turn over the sand, because there are residues of fish and shrimp food that Malay snails like in the sand. These foods can supplement the nutrients needed for the growth of Malay snails and supplement calcium. If there is no sand in the tank, they will not be able to get these nutrients.
Malay snail sand can also play a role in improving the environment of the fish tank. Residual fish and shrimp in the fish tank often sink to the bottom and pollute the water tank, affecting the environment inside. However, Malay snail sand can eat these residues and improve the environment in the tank.
Malay snails can be raised without sand. Although putting sand in the bottom of the tank can greatly benefit the survival of Malay snails, Malay snails can grow healthily even without sand. Of course, it is better to provide sand according to their habits when breeding. It makes them grow better.
