Description
Red-rimmed melania (Melanoides tuberculata) is a freshwater aquatic snail native to the tropical waters surrounding Africa and Asia, although it has been introduced elsewhere around the world. The red-rimmed melania can live in captivity in a heated aquarium, and is valued by some as an algae-eating aquarium cleaner. It has become an invasive species in some tropical regions, as it can outcompete native snails.
