Care Guide:Tank Size & Setup: Malaysian Trumpet Snails can thrive in tanks as small as 5 gallons but provide ample space in larger tanks. Ensure the tank has a secure lid to prevent escapes.Water Parameters: Maintain a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C) with a slightly alkaline pH of 7.0-8.0.

Malaysian Trumpet Snails can tolerate various flow rates, but avoid strong currents that may disturb them.Substrate: Provide a substrate such as sand or fine gravel, which allows the snails to burrow easily. This substrate type also helps promote their natural behavior and prevents damage to their shells.Diet: Malaysian Trumpet Snails are scavengers and primarily feed on detritus, algae, and decaying matter. They help keep the tank clean by consuming leftover food.

They lay eggs in gelatinous clumps, which hatch after a few weeks. Controlling their population may require manual removal of excess snails or adjusting feeding habits.Handling & Acclimation: Handle Malaysian Trumpet Snails with care, as they have delicate shells. Avoid exposing them to sudden changes in water parameters, temperature, or lighting. Acclimate them slowly using the drip acclimation method.
