Strawberry Top Snails should only be added a few at a time, overstocking could void the environment of algae and lead to some starving. |

The Strawberry Top Snail (Tectus conus) is sometimes called a Pyramid Top Snail. It belongs to the family named Turbinidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3 inches in diameter, the Strawberry Top Snail is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tectus conus should not be housed in a tank less than 10 gallons in size. 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 rockwork structure.
