Sulawesi snail most active at night?

[maboleth]

Anyone noticed this? This snail should be active during the day (or both day and night), but mine loves to go out at night and gets out of sight during the day. Which is a shame, because s/he is beautiful.

Also, is there any evidence if this snail eats algae (besides diatoms/soft film), if so - which one?

They don't like bright light. Apparently, if they breed in your tank the babies will be active under bright light if that's what they grow up with.

Mine are out all day.

Alright, makes sense. Though I wouldn't say my tank is too bright... there are several hiding spots too. I'll see tomorrow, s/he is still relatively new member of my fishy community after all.
