A terrific addition for any aquarium where snails are not considered food. These snails will constantly burrow in and out of the substrate eating any waste they can find in their path. They need a well established aquarium to thrive and do best with plenty of tankmates to provide them food. |

The Nassarius Snail (Nassarius vibex) belongs to the family named Nassariidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 0.8 inches in length, the Nassarius Snail is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium, extra substrate area, a deep substrate, porous live rock, and rockwork structure.
