Mystery Snails - Assorted
Product Details
The Mystery Snail (Pomacea diffusa / Pomacea bridgesii)
NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP - In-store Only
The Plant-Safe Community Favorite
Overview: The Mystery Snail is the beloved, gentle giant of the community tank. They are selectively bred into gorgeous color morphs like Golden, Ivory, Jade, Blue, and Purple. Their defining morphological feature is a 90-degree square shoulder on their shell whorlsâthe top of each spiral section is flat, not indented.
Personality & Behavior: Highly active, charismatic, and completely non-aggressive. They are famous for "parasnailing"âclimbing to the top of the tank, letting go of the glass, and skydiving to the bottom. They are completely safe for live plants because their teeth (radula) are too soft to puncture healthy plant tissue.
