Review: Great source of calcium for inverts - All our invertebrates and fish love these calcium chips! We have neocaridina shrimp, mystery snails, nerite snails, corys and guppies. Every single one nibbles on these chips! The inverts have great shells and are growing well. Perfect product for our needs.
Review: Noticeably healthier snail shells - 55g planted. My Malaysian trumpet snail army and Nerite snails approve. The MTS are noticeable larger than before. The Nerites no longer suffer from shell erosion. The shrimp and fish love to eat them too, although this wasn’t bought with them in mind. I suppose the egg-carrying female Amanos look a bit bigger and robust than before. This has been a very beneficial supplement for the tank and a little goes a long way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous!! My snails love it!!
*by C***U on March 3, 2026*

First off let me say that I really enjoy my aquatic snails and try to give them the very best. I found this supplement when researching new(er) calcium products on the market. They were not crazy about the previous calcium supplement I used and it mostly just dissolved into the water column. But they LOVE this! They eat it just like their regular sinking food. No piece of this has ever remained overnight so they’re definitely drawn to it. My snails have grown rapidly, are regularly active, and have bright colored smooth shells. I do believe this supplement has contributed to them thriving. I will buy it again. As well as try other products from this company.
