Tylomelania towutensis

Sulawesi snail – elegant, useful and ideal for tropical aquariums

Tylomelania towutensis is a freshwater snail native to the lakes of Sulawesi (Indonesia). It is prized for its elongated shell and contrasting colours, as well as its peaceful behaviour and usefulness in aquariums.

A robust species that requires stable, well-mineralised water, it is an excellent maintenance aid while adding an exotic touch to the tank.

Behaviour and maintenance

  • Very peaceful – compatible with calm fish and shrimp
  • Mainlyactive on the ground and on decorations
  • Slow reproduction – does not proliferate in aquariums

Ideal maintenance in a specific Sulawesi aquarium or stable tropical community aquarium.

Feeding

Decomposer/detritivore

  • Food remains and biofilm
  • Tablets for invertebrates
  • Poached vegetables (courgette, spinach)

A regular supply of calcium promotes shell strength.

Water quality

  • Temperature: 26–30 °C
  • pH: 7.5–8.5
  • GH: 8–12 °dGH
  • KH: 5–10 °KH

Prefers alkaline water with a high mineral content. Sensitive to sudden changes and high nitrate levels.

Decor and environment

  • Sandy or fine substrate
  • Limestone rocks beneficial for mineral content
  • Natural décor: roots, stones

Avoid overly acidic tanks or technical substrates that lower the pH.
