Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Super Nassarius Snail is a big guy with a bigger appetite for detritus. They look like a super-sized common Nassarius, and their large size means they can cover more ground, more quickly. Add a group of them to the aquarium and watch as they glide across eating fish waste, detritus, and uneaten foods. Do not be too concerned if you do not see this snail all the time because they like to burrow into the sand in search of food. When they burrow into the sand it has the added benefit of turning and aerating your substrate. Keep a lookout because you may see their siphon sitting out of the substrate. The Super Nassarius Snail prefers an established aquarium with live rock and a deep sand bed. Like all snails, they are sensitive to high nitrate levels and copper-based medications.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
