Notes: These snails are easy to breed. You must first start with 6 or so
juveniles. Grow them out . The aquarium must have an area out of the
water. These snails lay their eggs above the waterline. A cover is a must to
keep the humidity up until they hatch. Babies are fully developed and
assume the same life style as the adults.

Additional
Comments
 These snails are really neat due to the many colors they come in. They can
easily be crossed out and new colors created by you in your aquarium.
These also have a breathing tube that can be used t breath air when oxygen
levels are low in the water. They breed easily in captivity.
