Magenta Mystery Snails
$5
The mystery snail or spike-topped apple snail has a pointier tip to its shell and stays smaller at around 5 cm in diameter. The shell comes in many colors — like golden yellow, blue, magenta, purple, ivory, chestnut brown, black, and jade green — and the foot can be either light- or dark-colored. These excellent scavengers love to clean up your aquarium by consuming excess fish food, deceased animals, and dead leaves so that they won’t foul the water. If you see your mystery snail “eating” a healthy plant, most likely they are actually nibbling on melted or sickly leaves for you.
Their ideal parameters include temperatures of 21–26°C, pH of at least 7.2, and GH above 150 ppm (or 8 degrees). Because of their size, one or two mystery snail can live in a 5-gallon aquarium or larger with a tight-fitting lid that prevents them from crawling out. They are safe to keep with aquarium plants but may accidentally uproot new plants in loose substrate when they crawl past them. As with most snails, they are sensitive to salt and copper-based medications, so please remove them if the aquarium is being treated with those chemicals.
As a peaceful invertebrate, they can live with many other community fish that are also compatible with higher pH and harder water. Naturally, do not keep them with snail eaters like puffer fish, certain loaches, and turtles.
Their diet in an aquarium usually consists of fish food, algae, biofilm, dead fish, and dead plants. The one exception to the “mystery snails don’t eat healthy plants” rule is duckweed (but if you know duckweed, this likely isn't too much of a problem!)

Here, you'll get Magenta coloured Mystery snails with a light foot. I have some larger, and some smaller (I don't sell any under the size of a 10c piece) and am happy to include two snails, one large and one small. Sometimes, mystery snails do not travel well, so I'm happy to 'double down' on your arrival and their transfer into your aquarium by offering a younger snail as a backup. If you are confident that your snail will transfer fine (Please make sure your aquarium meets the necessary requirements for your snail to live a healthy life!) then I'm happy to lower the price on a single snail.
These snails are absolutely gorgeous, and very child friendly (to watch) in that they love to climb tall things such as plants, the side of your aquarium or your filter and 'leap' or parachute off it, floating to the bottom. So long as your tank suits your snails needs, it's likely to be quite active.
I do advise that you research your tank and snail first. Spirulina sinking algae wafers are great to have on hand to keep your snail happy, but blanched vegetables are also good options, however you certainly don't want to overfeed as you'll start to effect your tanks water parameters.
These snails are 'beginner friendly' and very hardy, and if something does seem off, there are Many Youtube videos and websites that can offer help and advice.
These snails have been raised with friendly bettas, endler guppies, otocinclus, borneo suckers, cherry shrimp and pygmy loaches. They're used to crowds and would love a home of their own to live out their little snail lives in!
