The snail live in freshwater and has gills. Adult females oviposit on the rice plant at night. The eggs are bright pink and are attached above the waterline. Their size varies from 2 to 3 mm in diameter and an average clutch contains 200 to 600 eggs. During dry season the snails bury themselves in moist soil. They can aestivate for 6 months. They become active again when the soil is flooded.
