Description
Purple Albino Mystery Snails | Pack of 5
Purple Albino Mystery Snails are an attractively colored variant of a fully aquatic mystery snail. Their predominant colors are light red, blue, yellow, and rose. Like all snails, they have a spiral shell in either oblong or round shape. They grow to about 1 – 2 inches in diameter.
How to Care for Mystery Snails
Mystery snails, also known by their scientific name Pomacea Bridgesii, are very easy to take care of and will thrive in a wide range of environments. Provided with a proper environment, they practically take care of themselves. They prefer water temperatures from 70 F to 82.5 F and a pH of around 7 or above. They will thrive in aquariums of all sizes and will appreciate live aquarium plants in their habitat as well as hiding places provided by rocks, driftwood, and other aquarium decorations.
Mystery Snails are primarily herbivorous and will actively graze on algae or decaying plant matter. If made available, they will also consume any remaining fish food. They are active throughout the day and watching them crawl on an aquarium glass, plants, rocks, or other decorations, scraping algae with their mouth, can be quite mesmerizing. The result of their activity is less algae, detritus, and other decaying matter in the aquarium. They are a perfect cleaning crew and are especially beneficial in a planted aquarium for their ability to remove algae.
Mystery Snails are peaceful and will do well with most fish. However, they should not be housed with large and aggressive fish.

Great snails
Posted by Allison Burke on 16 Feb 2021I've never gotten live animals shipped to me, so I was super worried but the snails took 3 days to get to me in Washington. It was even pretty cold (37 F) weather on the day they came. Nonetheless, all of these snails survived the trip and have successfully been added to my shrimp tank. They are so beautiful and I love them. I also got the Jade snails from here as well. They have all great eyes and sweetly munch on blanched vegetables. Very cool to observe

All 5 were healthy
Posted by Heather Hilmer on 13 Jan 2021I'm glad they came with instructions, otherwise I would have thought they were dead because they still were just laying tucked in their shells by the next day. But it said it could take a few days for them to "wake up". It took about a week and they one by one started coming out and are healthy.
