Blue Mystery Snails (Pomacea bridgesii) PACK OF 6
Blue Mystery Snails (Pomacea bridgesii) are a popular freshwater snail known for their striking blue shells and bodies. They are peaceful algae eaters and active tank inhabitants, often seen cleaning algae from glass, plants, and decorations. They are relatively large, growing up to 2-3 inches in diameter.

Golden Mystery Snails (Pomacea bridgesii)
These large and striking snails are great for adding some color to your aquarium, but they also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color. They are totally safe with any fish, shrimp, or plants, and are completely peaceful. These snails are quite large as adults, growing up to 3 inches in diameter! Golden Mystery Snails' shells are a bright and cheery golden yellow color. Their bodies are pearly white with iridescent markings that are truly breathtaking when they catch the light. Mystery Snails are generally much more active and display more playful behavior than other types of freshwater snails. They are almost constantly scaling the walls of the aquarium, extending their antennae in search of food. They will climb up to the water line in to breathe air, so it's a good idea to make sure the water line in your aquarium isn't too high. When a Mystery Snail reaches the top of a wall or structure, it will often let go of the wall and glide rapidly downward until it crashes into plants or into the substrate below, often eliciting a "Weeee!" sound from any witnesses.

Snow Ball Shrimp
Snowball Shrimp are freshwater aquarium shrimp with a consistent, pure white or translucent body. They are a selectively bred Neocaridina davidi variety known for their uniform color, small size (0.75–1.25 inches), and peaceful demeanor. Their name comes from their pure white eggs, which, like the adults, resemble miniature snowballs. They are excellent scavengers, contributing to a clean and healthy aquarium environment. Physical Characteristics Color: Pure white or translucent, providing a beautiful contrast in planted aquariums. Size: Adults typically grow to about 0.75–1.25 inches. Eggs: The "snowball" name refers to the pure white eggs carried by the females. Behavior and Role in the Aquarium Peaceful: They have a gentle nature and coexist harmoniously with other small tank inhabitants. Scavengers: Snowball Shrimp are excellent at cleaning the tank by grazing on algae, biofilm, and uneaten food. Breeding: They reproduce in the tank, with babies being miniature versions of the adults and requiring specific care to avoid being eaten by other fish or sucked into filters. Care and Environment Tank Setup: A minimum tank size of 4 gallons is suggested, though 20 gallons is recommended for a thriving colony. A sponge-covered filter intake is important for tanks with baby shrimp. Temperature: A stable temperature range is crucial for maintaining their vibrant white color. Water Parameters: They tolerate a wide range of water parameters, making them suitable for beginners. Diet: A varied diet of algae, algae tablets, and shrimp pellets is recommended.
