My understanding is that their breeding habits are much like the Nerites. The larvae spend some time in the ocean in the wild. If you were to attempt it, I'd recommend feeding a plankton substitute or other fine marine food. I read somewhere that it would be tough to feed them.

That said, there has been some reports of successful Nerite breeding and everyone said you couldn't do that either, so I don't like to say its simply not done in captivity. Anything is possible, but it isn't going to be easy.

I looked on google and they are very strange looking!!! I would like to get more snails especially the unusual snails. Did you buy your snail in a store zapisto?:eek:
