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.

Purple Albino mystery snails
Posted by AZ fishes on 14 Oct 2020Snails arrived in great condition and all still alive! A little bummed the coloring is brown and not purple or albino looking at all. Other than that the snails are great.

Beautiful Fun Addition
Posted by Andrea Billings on 12 Aug 2020All 5 of these beauties woke up and started exploring the tank within hours of introducing. This was my first experience ordering snails online so I was skeptical they would all arrive alive. No problems at all, will order again!!
