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

- 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.

- Tablets for invertebrates
- Poached vegetables (courgette, spinach)
A regular supply of calcium promotes shell strength.

- pH: 7.5–8.5
- GH: 8–12 °dGH

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