Japanese trapdoor snails grow quite large and prefer cool water. These snails fall into the category called viviparous, which means giving birth to living offspring that develop within the mother’s body.
Besides their beautiful ornamental looking shells, they don’t eat live healthy plants. This makes them a popular choice for both ponds and indoor aquariums as scavengers and algae-eaters.
Japanese trapdoor snails do not have a siphon and cannot breathe air. This is a fully aquatic freshwater snail. The lack of the lung allows this snail to survive in waters below freezing.
Based on annual growth rings (winter and summer rings) various biologists have estimated its lifespan as 3 – 10 years. The wide range of reported life spans is a result of different habitat conditions
Japanese trapdoor snails are omnivores so they will feed on your algae and help you keep your tank or your pond clean.
These snails will happily traverse the tank looking for food to eat, and they are not picky eaters.
Japanese trapdoor snails will enjoy eating decaying matter and cleaning up after its tankmates, often happily munching away on leftover bits.
Japanese trapdoor snails differ in their shell shape, size and in body coloration. Their shells can vary in color from black, brown to dark green or light green with a large area of white.
