Josh's Frogs Blue Mystery Snail - Pomacea bridgesii (Tank Raised) Live Fish

Recommended Enclosure Size: The minimum aquarium size for one or more mystery snails is five gallons. The larger the aquarium, the more you can keep. Temperature: Mystery snails are not fussy about temperature. They can thrive anywhere between 65-80 degrees fahrenheit, which makes them suitable for most tropical freshwater aquariums. pH/Hardness: Mystery snails tend to fare better in moderate to hard water. Water that is too acidic can damage their shells. Consequently, they require some general hardness in their water to build their shells properly. A pH of 7.0-8.0 is considered ideal. Size: At the time of sale, Blue mystery snails will be at least 1-1.5” in size. Mystery snails can get up to 2” in size as adults. This is the shell diameter when full grown, and applies to both male and female snails. Females may get slightly larger, but this is not usually very obvious. Age: At time of purchase, Blue mystery snails will be at least two months old. These snails can live 1-2 years under ideal conditions. Feeding: Mystery snails are grazers and will sample almost any food dropped in the aquarium. However, it is important to make sure they are getting the correct diet and not just left to fend for themselves. They appreciate offerings of all kinds of veggies and algae based foods. The addition of calcium in their diet is essential to keep their shells healthy (this can be calcium powder added to a gel diet like Repashy soilent green or a homemade “snello” recipe). Just be sure that whatever you feed them is eaten within a few hours and does not soil the water! Adding a cuttlebone can also be beneficial for a calcium source. Color/Pattern: Blue mystery snails are distinguished from other mystery snail varieties by having a blueish shell accompanied by a dark blue body. Social Behavior: Mystery snails are peaceful and fairly social. They get along well with their own kind. That being said, they do just fine on their own too. They will not harm any other fish or shrimp tank mates. However, they can be harmed by some tank mates, such as larger cichlids, loaches, and other predatory animals. They are generally considered “plant safe”, unlike other large snail species.
