Product Description

Our Gold Mystery Snails have dual benefits — they add a burst of color to your aquarium and also act as aquarium cleaners! These yellow aquarium snails feed on uneaten fish food and other waste, plus they clean algae off glass or acrylic aquarium walls, aquatic plants, and aquarium decorations. These peaceful snails grow large as adults, growing up to 3 inches in diameter, and are safe with any nonaggressive fish, live shrimp, and any live aquarium plant (including a Marimo Moss Ball, moneywort, etc.).

Golden Mystery Snail shells are a bright, cheery golden yellow color, making them living fish tank decorations. Their bodies are pearly white with breathtaking iridescent markings. Compared to other freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are characteristically more active and playful and can often be seen scaling aquarium walls, extending their antennae in search of food on the aquarium floor, and climbing up the aquarium pump tubing to the water line to breathe oxygen. Because of this, ensure the water line in your aquarium is low enough or keep an aquarium hood or mesh aquarium top in place so your snails cannot escape.

We often ship smaller sized (.25 to 1.5 inches) snails so you can enjoy them longer and watch them grow. A young Mystery Snail can double in size over the course of two weeks to months. These snails are very easy to care for, so they make great candidates for a first aquarium! If you are a beginner aquarium keeper, please keep in mind that aquarium cycling is vital to keeping all aquarium animals healthy and happy. A complete aquarium cycle must conclude before housing any aquarium animals.
