Product Description

Product Description

A peaceful freshwater mystery snail with a rich black shell that adds contrast and movement to planted and community aquariums. It spends the day grazing on biofilm, algae, and leftover food while exploring glass, décor, and substrate. 

Mystery snails can breathe both underwater and at the surface using a long breathing tube called a siphon.

  • Size - Up to 2 inches
  • Lifespan - 1-2 years

Feeding Instructions

Feed a varied omnivore diet of algae, biofilm, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables such as zucchini, cucumber, or spinach. Offer supplemental food 2 to 3 times per week and provide a calcium source to support healthy shell growth. Remove uneaten food promptly to help maintain water quality.

Habitat and Care

Habitat and Care

Keep in an appropriately sized aquarium of at least 5 gallons. Provide substrate and structure such as decorations and live or plastic plants for hiding places. Check the filter and water temperature to ensure that the filter is moving water, and temperature is approximately 68-84°F. About 25% of the water should be changed every other week. Test strips can be used to monitor water quality. Beneficial filtration bacteria starter cultures should be added at set up, and new fish should only be added when the tank is fully cycled.
