Our large Magenta Mystery Snails have dual benefits — they add a burst of color to any aquarium, and act as natural fish tank clearers! These prime aquarium snails reduce the need for a device (such as an aquarium Green Killing Machine) because they feed on uneaten fish food and spirulina, plus they wipe off aquarium glass, real or fake aquarium plants, substrate, and decorations. They grow large as adults (up to 3 inches in diameter) and are safe with any nonaggressive aquarium fish, live shrimp, or plants (such as an Anubias aquarium plant, duckweed, etc). Magenta Mystery Snail shells feature stunning magenta to mauve coloration, while their bodies are a cream color with breathtaking iridescent pink and yellow markings. They look fantastic under any aquarium light fixture. Compared to other snails, Mystery Snails are characteristically more active and can often be found scaling aquarium walls, extending antennae in search of food, and climbing up tubes in your aquarium rig to the water line to breathe. Because of this, ensure the water line in your aquarium is low or keep a tank cover in place so your snails cannot escape. We often ship smaller sized (.5 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. NOTE: Contrary to what some websites state, Mystery Snails are NOT the same species as Apple Snails. Apple Snails are an illegal species to own in the United States. Our Mystery Snails do not grow to the tremendous size that Apple Snails do (often as big as an apple).
