Introducing New Fish
Mystery Blue Snail
The Mystery Blue Snail is a one-of-a-kind ornamental snail renowned for its shimmering cobalt-blue shell and gentle, algae-eating habits. Perfect for both novice and experienced aquarists, this hardy little mollusk not only brightens up your tank but also helps keep it clean and healthy.
Key Features:
-
Striking Iridescent Shell
Each Mystery Blue Snail sports a deep blue, almost metallic shell that catches light beautifully—no two shells are exactly alike, making each snail truly unique. -
Natural Algae Control
An enthusiastic grazer, it readily consumes biofilm and soft algae, helping to maintain clearer glass and décor surfaces. -
Peaceful Community Member
With its calm demeanor and slow, graceful movements, the Mystery Blue Snail coexists harmoniously with most freshwater fish, shrimp, and other invertebrates. -
Hardy & Low-Maintenance
Tolerant of a wide range of water conditions (pH 6.8–8.0, temperature 20–28 °C), this snail thrives on a varied diet of algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and natural detritus. -
