Mystery Snail

They are just so cute and they eat the extra food! If you keep the water level high enough they won't overpopulate the tank and they do not eat all of your live plants! Plus they are not very expensive! They are great to put in fry tanks after the eggs hatch because they do not add much of a load to the tank and they keep it clean so the water does not pollute!

A great snail for small tanks!

Generally, tanks with snails are cleaner tanks. Mystery Snails do VERY well in established goldfish tanks, and they won't overrun your tank with mini snails. They're attractive with their golden shell, and they look fascinating when they have all their gizmo's and what have you out and working. Although they're long tentacles for feeling their surroundings often get nipped by cichlids or clown loaches. A small snail with a few clown loches will leave you with an empty shell pretty soon, Clowns can't really suck out a big snail, but they will try. PH doesn't really bother them, but somewhere between 7.2 and 7.6 is a good standard. Acidic water tends to rot their shell. Pleco's are still the best at cleaning algae in your tank; however, they're much more expensive.
