A staple in the trade for people desiring a clean up crew for their tanks. These guys are not much to look at but they will constantly move across your glass and rockwork doing their part in keeping the algea under control. Always recommended unless there are any snail predators around. There only need is algae and for the calcium levels to be maintianed so their shell can grow. |

The Turbo Snail (Turbo fluctuosa) is sometimes called a Top Shell Snail or a Turban Snail. It belongs to the family named Turbinidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Turbo Snail is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Turbo fluctuosa in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, 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.
