Golden Mystery Snail - 1/2"-2" - Algae Eater for Aquariums

Our little gold mystery snail arrived safe and sound with instructions! He was immersed in the tank and came out to explore quickly. Happy with this new friend from a caring seller.

OMG they are so adorable. They all came alive. And it didn't take them long to come out of there shells and to make a home in my fresh water tank. we were lucky case our started to show (LOVE) if you get what I mean witch was so cool to watch. And they came in different sizes witch I love and I have one that has a lot of brown on it and I thought that was so awesome case not all of them look the same. I can see the little red spots on there foot and there eyes. There are fun to watch and they are very sweet and they love to eat some veggies like zucchini and stuff like that. SO I will be BUYING more from this company and I have another tank that needs some so next month I will be coming back to this place and buy them hear case at least I know they come 100% alive. And they are packed nicely and they came in 3 days. So that is not to bad. So if you are thinking of pets snails theses are the ones to buy. You will not be sorry.

Arrived dead. Also was super tiny. Not at all as advertised

So pleased!! We received 2 very healthy and beautiful snails. They are so much fun to watch, it had been years since I have had any snails, and I only wish I had ordered sooner! Packaged very well. After a gentle rinsing, I added them to our tank. Didn’t take them long to acclimate and stretch exploring their new home. These little fellers are very active, an already making a very noticeable diffrence in cleaning algae and debris. Their golden color is eye catching. We just love watching to see where they are now, the are traveled! I believe the Betta has adopted them and seems quite taken by their new tank mates. No aggression, just curious.The most amazing thing-I was away for 2 weeks- and came back, they both have grown TWICE their size. Thru were tiny babies, of course, when they arrived. So it appears they are as happy with their new home as we are with them.

UDPATE:It has been a little over 5 months, and I found this guys shell empty in my tank. Obviously he died. Rather disappointing that it died so soon. My tank is very well taken care of, and my plants and fish just thrive in it. Lowering my rating from 5 stars to 3 because of the short lifespan. Kind of sad to see him gone, he was a colorful addition to the community tank.I ordered this little guy to go in a 12g Fluval Edge to help keep it clean. He arrived in plastic fluid specimen jar. I just hope it was a fresh, unused jar, and not one that had a "sample" in it! The snail is a beautiful golden orange, and is fitting in well with his tankmates. He is not very active, yet, but makes his way around the tank pretty fast for a snail when he does move. He likes to burrow into the substrate, and has actually moved several large marimo moss balls several inches from where they were.If you have an algae problem, or want to get ahead of one in a new tank, I highly recommend ordering this little guy from this seller. Fast shipping, and packed well.UPDATE:The snail is doing great in his new home! I added 3 new pictures of it up close. Very pretty colors and a nice, bright addition to my tank.

I’m using the SpongeBob theme so right now I have Gary the snail Larry what should be a lobster but he’s a snail and I’m waiting on a white one to come her name will be pearl which was a whale, Perfect little critters arrived safe Package and a quarter pint container with a paper towel and a quarter of inch of water put them in the tank went to the bottom and then they were off cruising the tank like there’s no tomorrow I hear that they do sleep for up to 30 hours I googled them they can breed but They like to breed on land ,,,but if you have more than a an inch or two to spare that’s dry of no water on top of your tank it can happen it will look like a cocoon ,there as well they are very very pretty at the moment the size of a nickel bright yellow popped their little heads out the fish were curious ,They went up to them but did not bother them I have African cichlids my pH is high which My tanks are I am likely to purchase more I’m waiting on a white one ...there speedy buzzing all over the tank, not likely to breed in captivity but it can happen I’m hoping to wait till they get big I may be saying things but I swear they grew overnight definitely buy a 5+ Star,I also think mine are boys you can tell Google it red horns are here I had I also think Mina boys you can tell Google

So first, the critical: The bag they came in developed a leak in transit. I didn't take a picture of that because I was immediately worried about the snails being out of water. Picture of the wet box is attached.Mildly disappointingly, they're not golden as in the pictures, but their shells were undamaged and they're a decent size.Now for the good: I was worried about transport temperatures so I ordered them express. They got here 2 days ahead of time! I'm especially glad because of the leak, but I would have been very happy with that regardless.They're also SUPER active. I've got 2 smaller (3 gallon) tanks with a runaway algae problem that smaller snails are only barely keeping managed. These 2 guys were up and at it the next day and have been zooming around the tanks ever since (4 days). They seem happy and healthy! They're faster to withdraw than my bettas are to bite (oh thank goodness!)I'm overall happy and would definitely buy from this seller again, hoping the packaging situation was an aberration.

Named him/her TURBOstill living and active one week.previously purchased from pet store purchases died same day as purchase. yes more $$$ but alive and well. Thank you for great service
