Our Gold Mystery Snails have dual benefits — they add a burst of color to your aquarium andalso act as aquarium cleaners! These yellow aquarium snails feed on uneaten fish food andother waste, plus they clean algae off glass or acrylic aquarium walls, aquatic plants, andaquarium decorations. These peaceful snails grow large as adults, growing up to 3 inches indiameter, 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 fishtank decorations. Their bodies are pearly white with breathtaking iridescent markings.Compared to other freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are characteristically more active andplayful and can often be seen scaling aquarium walls, extending their antennae in search offood on the aquarium floor, and climbing up the aquarium pump tubing to the water line tobreathe oxygen. Because of this, ensure the water line in your aquarium is low enough or keepan 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 watchthem 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!
