Instruction
1. Ampuyariya – some of the few snails who are not hermaphrodites. And the first problem consists in it. For cultivation you will need at least two individuals of a different floor, however to distinguish males and females of ampulyariya very not easy. The sexual dimorphism at snails is expressed extremely poorly. The attentive manufacturer can try to make out kopulyativny body of a male ampulyariya. It is located under a sink from the opposite side on the right from "siphon" by means of which the snail gathers air. At females in this place the cavity formed by cloak folds is noticeable. However the beginning aquarians prefer to buy several ampulyariya among which everything more probable there will be diclinous individuals for reliability.
2. For comfortable life and reproduction the ampulyariya need not a lot of place. Ten liters of water have to fall on one snail. The aquarium surely has to be closed by a cover. Over water leave distance of 10-15 centimeters, otherwise the snail will not be able to lay caviar.
3. As a rule, the female leaves a laying on an aquarium cover, its walls or on integumentary glass. Caviar keeps quite strongly. If it after all fell, put a laying in a plastic cover, and put a cover on a water surface.
4. Kids of ampulyariya are born approximately in one and a half-three weeks. Little snails already have quite created armor. After they hatched, transplant posterity in a separate aquarium or to bank. It is necessary to fill with water it only on five centimeters – little snails breathe air and are forced to emerge often.
5. In the first month of life of ampulyariya it is necessary to feed with boiled egg, subsequently – the leaves of lettuce or cabbage scalded by boiled water. After snails reach two-three millimeters in length, they can be replaced in the main aquarium.
