Originating from South America, the Blue Mystery Snail (Pomacea bridgesii) is a peaceful freshwater species admired for its soft blue-gray shell and dark contrasting foot. These snails are active day and night, constantly exploring the tank while helping maintain clean glass and plants.

Mystery Snails are excellent algae eaters and thrive in planted aquariums. They consume leftover food, decaying plant matter, and biofilm, contributing to a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Their gentle nature makes them compatible with shrimp, tetras, and other small community fish.

How to Care

Introduce your snails slowly to match tank conditions. Provide calcium-rich water for shell health and avoid copper-based treatments, as they can be harmful to invertebrates. Supplement their diet with algae wafers or blanched vegetables, such as zucchini, when natural algae are limited. Keep the tank covered. Mystery Snails may climb above the water line.

DO NOT USE COPPER IN AQUARIUMS CONTAINING SNAILS!

snails = good shipping = poor

waited full 4 days to notify of shipping, then 3 more days before it actually showed up on tracking. No thank you, I'll buy from a supplier that ships quickly, and doesn't screw around on tracking. The snails were good, the rest of the interaction left a lot to be desired.

Hello, thank you for your review. Glad the snails arrived in good condition.
When it comes to shipping, despite having a 1-4 day handling time, we may hold orders if temperatures are extreme. We do not ship live animals if temperatures are above 90 degrees to ensure they arrive safely. You can read more info here: https://aquaticmotiv.com/pages/shipping.
Thank you.

Snails were received today. Took a few minutes, but they are all fine.

Perfect

I ordered blue and jade mystery snails. They are in perfect condition and about the size of a nickle. Within 5 minutes they were all up and snailing along. Was worried about cold temp and coming from New Jersey to California but they waited an extra week for a little warmer and they arrived nice and warm. Super well packaged. Very quick to respond. Always get good service from Aquaticmotiv. 5 🌟 as always.

Perfect, all came in alive

They look amazing thank you

Great little plant. I put it in a newer planted tank and it is doing great. I ordered multiple plants and everything came nicely packed and in great shape.

Arrived quickly, healthy and just as described

Unique and healthy snails

They've done great for me over the past couple of weeks now. They do move *very* slowly and like to at least partially burrow in to the sand fairly often, but I also regularly see them hanging out elsewhere in the tank. One even came pregnant and I ended up seeing a couple of babies a few days ago!

Tiny, but healthy!

I was concerned about how these would do for me as I've had difficulty with other similar Clithon snails in the past, but these were active and healthy from the start. They really seem to enjoy hanging out on smooth rounded river rocks.

Beautiful Rabbit Snail

Hardy and relatively active variety of Rabbit Snail with vivid yellow spots just like in the photos. Definitely recommended.
