One Light Foot Pink (purple) Mystery Snail Clutch

This large clutch was laid Nov. 12th. I would expect it to hatch at the very end of November or beginning of December and should yield 250 to 300 snails, possibly more. Shown is the clutch you will receive, I don't like buying clutches sight unseen and I won't ask you to either. Second photo is when they will look like in a couple of months, they are eating a big collard leaf. Third is the mother snail laying a previous clutch.

Think the colors aren't as bright as some other sellers? It's because I didn't use special lights or Photoshop. I show them to you as they are likely to look in your tanks.

I only keep a few snails of this color and don't have these light foot purple clutches very often so bid now if you're interested. Check the prices these pink/magenta/purple snails are going for, even if you only get a buck a piece you will come out way ahead. I often have other color clutches available, check my other auctions.

This can be shipped November 23th or November 26th, your choice. Do not bid unless you have an active PayPal account in good working order and can make an instant payment. The email address you receive from AquaBid is also my PayPal account, there is no need to wait for me. No e-checks, no Money Orders. Ask any questions BEFORE bidding.

Please have a responsible plan for housing the snails as they grow and an outlet for all the extras. You will end up with more than can be kept in a couple of small tanks! Or a dozen large tanks. If you only want a few snails, this is not for you. Mystery snails should have hard water and an alkaline pH, 7.5 to 8.0 is good. In soft acid water you will have irrepairable problems with the shells which can ultimately be fatal, at the least it's unattractive.

I consider these snails to be plant-safe, they do not eat most live plants unless they are starving. They do need veggies in their diet. Collard or dandelion greens are great choices. Green beans and peas are good too. Plain lettuce doesn't really have any nutritional value (except Romaine). They will eat some soft algaes and dead plant foliage. And of course they like to clean up fish food which has fallen to the bottom.

Suitable tankmates include most gentle community fish. Most loaches and cichlids are poor choices. Even if the snail is not killed outright, constantly having their antennas or bodies nipped at will make their lives miserable. In a suitable environment, mystery snails are active.

A wealth of information on keeping and hatching Mystery Snails can be found at AppleSnail.net. If you have never hatched a Mystery Snail clutch before, please do your research before bidding. This clutch is being sold WITHOUT any email support at all. If you would like a complete hatching kit with platform, food and instructions, add $5. If you have hatched apple snails before, you know what to do. If you haven't hatched them before I strongly suggest getting the hatching kit, otherwise you are on your own.


Term details are on my Just Me page. �Please read it before bidding. �A copy of these terms is also included in this auction as commented out text and can be viewed by looking at the page source.

Payment is by PayPal only, no e-checks and MUST be completed by 8:00 pm EDT on 11/25.

When paying with PayPal, you must include the address you wish the package sent to.

Priority Mail in a well insulated box is $7. No heat pack is being offered so if you live in a seriously cold climate please do not bid.

I am offering no guarantee these will hatch because the clutch will need additional incubation after you receive it.

Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs.


Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
