Napfschnecken werden auch Nixenschnecken genannt.
Guter Algenfresser. Die Schnecken sind nicht durch einen Deckel geschützt. Wenn sie ihren Halt verliert und zu Boden fallen, haben es Einsiedler und Krebse leicht sie zu erbeuten.
Die Schnecken legen bei mir regelmäßig Eipakete ab. Dise sehen aus wie Sesamkörner. Leider ist daraus nie etwas geworden. Habe mich mal für die Zucht interessiert und dabei den folgenden interessanten Link gefunden. Die Schnecken schlüpfen demnach als Larve und entwickeln sich erst später zur Schnecke. Dadurch dürfte eine Zucht schwierig sein. Ich habe auch noch keine ernstzunehmenden Zuchtberichte gefunden. Im Süsswasserbereich findet man eher Zuchtberichte von Napfschnecken (Rennschnecken).

Kam zu mir als Passagier auf dem Lebendgestein. Hat selbst in der Einfahrphase im Alleingang eine 40cm Lebend-Riffsäule algenfrei gehalten. Sehr zu empfehlen!
