About the species
Gold elephant snail (Tylomelania sp.) comes from Sulawesi and can reach about 7 cm. Temperature 24–28 °C.
The golden form needs the same clean, hard Sulawesi water as other elephant snails. Feed algae, pellets and vegetables, and keep the water from going too soft or the shell will suffer.
Give space and hiding places. They move slowly and do best in oxygen-rich water with low nitrate.
