Young and healthy Mystery snails hatched Feb17th - striped purple or striped brown. Photos above show adults. Only $2 each Bred and raised in a separate, naturally scaped aquarium with quality food and calcium for healthy shells. They also clean up left over food on substrate but do not harm plants or tankmates. These peaceful, gorgeous and unique snails grow to a large size so it is best to keep only 1 per 5 gallons. They need male and female to produce babies. A female will lay a clutch of eggs above water line that can easily be removed. Please ensure your aquarium is fully cycled with appropriate water parameters for snails.
