Little predator snail helena

Arriving home to my friend, I saw a very beautiful sight - against the background of green grass, small snails with a ribbed yellow-black shell swam. “This is a Helena snail,” a friend introduced me to her new tenants. "She is also called the Beeline Snail, you probably guessed why." Well of course - Beeline coloring. And my friend told me this:

Helena snails




It is very interesting to observe the nutrition process of little helena. There are two outgrowths on the snail’s head: one is the “hand” with which it feels the space and with the help of which it determines the location of the victim, and the other is the stigma, with which it shoots at the victim’s body with lightning speed and, in fact, feeds on it. Helena snail clearly determines which victim is her teeth and which is not. She will never attack an ampoule or neretina, not only because it is larger than helena, but also because the body of a large snail is tightly attached to the shell. Helena is simply not able to get to him. If a snail for an aquarium like helena has run out of all live food, don’t worry. This meat-eater can eat ice-cream bloodworms, shrimp pellets, sticky pills for catfish and even minced chicken, so tasty for Helena. Besides,Helen's prey may be young fish and caviar. Therefore, it should not be launched into a spawning aquarium.
