The number of cave snails has significantly decreased over the past few decades, from an estimated 15,118 in 1973, to the point where only one individual was found within the survey areas during January 11, 2001 and April 22, 2003. A small population containing approximately 40 individuals does exist

Although little is known regarding the biology of this cave snail, it is believed that the species feeds on aquatic microfauna (i.e., the microscopic, bacterial film or β€œbiofilm" which does appear to be ingested by the cave snail). Because Tumbling Creek cavesnails are usually concentrated in those
