They're pretty rare so I'm guessing they would be pretty expensive for a snail. I don't know an exact price... sorry.
Treat it like any other snail. My yellows cost $10 a piece. They're livebearers and reproduce very slowly.
These snails actually like warmer waters. Their source water is quite warm with a high pH and a low hardness. They adapt well to moderately hard waters in the tank. They are very shy despite their size so are not suitable tankmates for boisterous fish. Alot of them are collected from deeper waters so are a bit light sensitive if wild caught. They are sex specific snails and even if you get a pair don't have more than one young per month. They carry eggs which hatch as they travel out of the mother's birth canal adn they emerge as a mini version of the adult. They are easy to feed, eating most sinking prepared foods and blanched vegetables. $24 is alot unless it was one of the much rare species.
