Our Olive Jade Mystery Snails have dual benefits — they add a burst of color to your aquarium and also act as fish tank clearers! These gold aquarium snails feed on uneaten fish food, spirulina and biofilm, plus they wipe off glass, aquatic plants, and aquarium decorations (including ceramic aquarium décor). They also filter aquarium substrate to keep it the correct color. These peaceful snails grow large as adults, growing up to 3 inches in diameter, and are safe with any nonaggressive live fish, dwarf shrimp, and freshwater plants (including Marimo Balls, java fern, etc). This less common mystery snail boasts a gold shell with an iridescent black body, resulting in a greenish-gold overall appearance. Compared to other freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are characteristically more playful and can often be seen scaling aquarium walls, extending their antennae in search of food along the aquarium floor, and climbing up the aquarium pump to the water line to breathe. Because of this, ensure the water line in your aquarium is low or keep a tank cover in place so your snails can’t escape. We often ship smaller sized (.5 to 1.5 inches) snails so you can enjoy them longer and watch them grow. A young Mystery Snail can double in size over the course of two weeks to months. NOTE: Contrary to what some websites state, Mystery Snails are NOT the same species as Apple Snails. Apple Snails are an illegal species to own in the United States. Our Mystery Snails do not grow to the tremendous size that Apple Snails do (often as big as an apple).CARE GUIDELINES:– Temperature: 68° – 84° F (20° – 29° C) – pH: 7.6 – 8.4 – KH: 2 – 15 dKH – Minimum tank size: 2.5 gallons per snail – Average adult size: 2.5 – 3+ inches (5 – 7.6+ cm) – Average purchase size: .5 – 2 inches (1.3 – 5 cm) – Aquatic Arts is an American aquarium company!

One of the largest plant-safe freshwater snails, Mystery Snails have lively personalities and are great aquarium pets! They complement big or small aquarium decorations, as well as fish tank plants.
This aquarium clearing snail helps wipe off glass, real or fake aquarium plants, aquarium décor, and tank substrate. A 7.5 to 10 gallon tank is generally large enough for 3 mystery snails.
They can grow to over 2 inches – one of the largest freshwater snails in the aquarium hobby. Other than biofilm, they eat leftover fish food, fish pellets, and blanched vegetables.
Olive Jade Mystery Snail shells are gold with a greenish-gold look overall. They are completely peaceful and make great tankmates to most aquarium fish, including Platies, Guppies, Tetras, etc.
