Sulawesi Socola Snail
The "Sulawesi socola snail" likely refers to a species of Tylomelania, commonly known as rabbit snails, native to the ancient lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia. These snails are renowned for their distinctive, elongated shells and vibrant coloration, making them popular among aquarium enthusiasts.
Copper Sensitivity: These snails are highly sensitive to copper, which can be toxic even in small amounts. Avoid using copper-based medications in their aquarium.
Acclimation: Due to their sensitivity, it's crucial to acclimate them slowly to new water conditions, preferably using drip acclimation methods.
Shell Health: Provide adequate calcium in the water to support healthy shell development.
