The Gold Inca Snail is a freshwater aquarium snail often found in pet stores these days. A Gold Inca Snail color is deep yellow and gold with a creamy white body, head and foot. A Gold Inca Snail has several orange dots sprinkled across it head just above and around its mouth. Orange dashes appear on its siphon and orange rings appear around its eyes. Its creamy white and orange color combination, combined with its yellow-gold shell, can really stand out in an aquarium. Especially in tanks with rich green plants, a black substrate and a black background.
A Gold Inca Snail is peaceful by nature preferring a calm environment with non-aggressive tank mates. Gold Inca Snails have no means to attack other aquarium inhabitants and can only use its shell and operculum to defend itself. A Gold Inca Snail can be very active during times when the tanks lights are on, steadily travelling throughout the aquarium on the hunt for food, interesting places to explore, or a quiet place to take a break. A Gold Inca Snail can also be very active when the tank lights are off. Inca Snails are often busy feeding at night in complete darkness.
