Pomacea bridgesii, common name the spike-topped apple snail or mystery snail, is a South American species of freshwater snail with gills and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae. These snails were most likely introduced to the United States through the aquarium trade.
The most common apple snail in aquarium shops [citation needed] are Pomacea bridgesii and Pomacea diffusa, (both called mystery snails or spike-topped apple snails, among other things). These species come in different colours from brown to albino or yellow and even blue, purple, pink, and jade, with or without banding.
Lymnaea stagnalis snails can be easily be kept in a freshwater aquarium at room temperature, and fed with various sorts of vegetables, salad, cabbage, fallen maple or oak leaves, cucumber slices and dandelion leaves. Fish food will also be eaten, as well as aquarium pests like algae, the Hydra viridissima polyp, and the eggs of other water snails.
Some aquarium species will eat ramshorn snails. More voracious eaters include puffers, loaches (such as the clown loach or any other member of the genus Botia), crayfish, and most gouramis— [citation needed] though many other fish will also consume snail meat. Apple snails and assassin snails will also prey upon ramshorn snails.
However, among the family Liparidae, all species are found to lay eggs with relatively large size and the number of eggs varies due to the species. [18] The large egg size indicates continuous egg laying in hadal snailfish; some species spawn their eggs among cold-water coral, kelp, stones, or xenophyophores, and the males will guard the egg ...
The assassin snail typically grows to 0.7–1.25 in (18–32 mm) in size, though this is dependent on food sources; they are usually smaller when kept in an aquarium. [ citation needed ] The shell, which is conical in shape, often consists of dark brown and yellowish tan bands, leading to some people to refer to it as the bumble bee snail, a ...
Freshwater snails are commonly found in aquaria along with tropical fish. Species available vary in different parts of the world. In the United States, commonly available species include ramshorn snails such as Planorbella duryi , bladder snails such as Physella acuta , apple snails such as Pomacea bridgesii , the high-spired thiarid Malaysian ...
Eggs of intermediate size were rarely seen. Even in the largest eggs, no structures were found that indicate the development of the embryo within the eggs. [1] There are indications that the larvae of P. swirei and at least some other hadal fish spend time in the open water at relatively shallow depths, less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft). [8]
