Description

Pick 2, your choice!

10+ Malaysian Trumpet Snails: They range in length from 1/2" to 3/4". These snails reproduce asexually and by parthenogenesis--basically a live-birth 'clone'. The snails are both male and female (hermaphroditic) but primarily reproduce by cloning copies of themselves. Thus, 1 snail is all you need to start your own colony. However, it's a good idea to introduce 'new blood' occasionally to diversify the genetic pool. Each snail is capable of giving birth to up to 50 live babies at a time, though they do not seem to grow very fast. Trumpet snails eat the usual leftover food, algae, and dead organic matter. As an added bonus, they also eat detritus (fish waste). These snails burrow in the substrate and are great for planted tanks.

10+ Ramshorn snails: These snails range in size from dime to pea-sized. Ramshorn snails reproduce asexually, so two snails are capable of breeding with each other and each snail will lay eggs.Ramshorns do well in both cold (not freezing!) and tropical water tanks, so can be kept with any fish that won't eat them. They are also good as live food for puffers and certain types of loaches. Most of the snails will be dark colored or brown, but you should get a few red/pink snails also. I don't have any blue ramshorns.

20+ Bladder/Tadpole snails: These snails range in size from BB to about pea sized. They are hermaphroditic, meaning they are both male and female. Thus, they reproduce very quickly. They do well in all water temperatures but breed best in tropical temperatures. These are also good for feeding puffers and loaches.

2 BLUE Mystery snails, aka Pomacea diffusa: These are young adult snails, about the size of a grape but may differ in size. These snails will not breed out of control like other aquarium snails, they are sexual so need to have a male and a female for breeding. In addition, they lay their eggs above the water line in a large clutch, which is easy to remove.

All snails are great for cleaning up excess food, algae, and dead plant material. Each of these snails is plant-safe, meaning they won't eat live plants in your aquarium.

Pick 2, your choice! Each species of snail will be in its own bag.

Free priority shipping in an insulated USPS priority box. Heat packs are available for $2 if you need one. I will send you an invoice through Paypal at the end of the listing. Please check your temperatures and let me know if you would like a heat pack. These snails will ship fine if your average temps are above freezing. If your daytime and nighttime temps are below freezing, you will need heat. Otherwise they should be fine. Postal money order is also an acceptable payment method. Live arrival guaranteed, replacements (buyer pays shipping) or refund on cost of snails only provided for DOA.

You may double up on one type if you don't want two different types. I can also add more to your order, just send me a message! :)
