Every aquarium needs snails, so why not the Turbo Snail? They are a very important component when creating a balanced reef aquarium. Different snails do different jobs, and the Turbo's job is keeping the rock and glass surfaces clean. Be aware they are known as "bulldozers" because they tend to knock things over when they graze. The Turbo Snail prefers ample hiding places and large amounts of room to graze. It is recommended that you have one snail for every 5 gallons of tank water. Be advised these snails have a difficult time turning themselves over if they fall onto the back of their shells. It is a good idea to flip them over if you see them laying on their side to prevent them from dying.

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.
