Our large Purple Mystery Snails have dual benefits — they add a burst of color to any aquarium, and act as natural fish tank cleareres! These lovely purple aquarium snails consume uneaten fish food, biofilm and they reduce the need for an aquarium conditioner by clearing off glass, aquatic plants, and aquarium decor. They also filter aquarium substrate to keep it the correct color. These peaceful snails grow up to 3 inches in diameter and are safe with any nonaggressive aquarium fish, freshwater shrimp, or aquarium plants (including Marimo Balls, liverwort, etc.). Purple Mystery Snail shells range from medium violet to dark indigo, while their bodies are a dark, nearly black color with breathtaking iridescent markings. Compared to other freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are characteristically more active and playful and can often be found scaling aquarium walls, extending their antennae in search of food, and climbing up the aquarium filter tube to the water line to breathe. Because of this, ensure the water line in your aquarium is low enough or keep an aquarium lid 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. Freshwater snails such as these are sensitive to nitrates, etc., so we recommend using an aquarium test kit or aquarium reader and consider buying an ammonia, nitrite, and/or nitrate remover aquarium treatment. Be careful if you use limescale remover, as it can damage snail shells.CARE GUIDELINES:– Temperature: 68° – 84° F (20° – 29° C) – pH: 7.6 – 8.4 – KH: 2 – 15 dKH – Minimum tank size: 2.5 gallons per snail – Average adult size: 2.5 – 3+ inches (5 – 7.6+ cm) – Average purchase size: .25 – 1.5 inches (1.3 – 5 cm)
