The mystery snail (Pomacea bridgesii) is an extremely popular type of freshwater snail. It originates in South America with the highest density being in Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia. You�ll sometimes see it referred to as the spike-topped apple snail or common apple snail. In the wild, mystery snails can be found scavenging for plant matter in various bodies of water with rivers, swamps, and ponds being the most common. They spend most of their time at the bottom near the substrate. This is because there tends to be an accumulation of organic plant material down there for these snails to eat. Something interesting about the mystery snail is the way they breathe. These snails have a siphon near their heads that they use to move water through their gills. This is not a common setup and it�s one of the more unique aspects of mystery snail anatomy!Lastly, there is the operculum. This is the little lid that these snails use to cover up the large opening in their shell when tucked away for safety. It can be hard to see it depending on the angle and positioning of their foot, but it simply gets moved to the side when they�re out and about. These snails are sensitive and need good water parameters to thrive The most effective way to ensure this is by testing your water frequently (and with an accurate testing kit). Having the right information is the first step in protecting these adorable critters! Here are the levels you should pay attention to: Water temperature: 68�F to 84�F pH levels: 7.6 to 8.4 Water hardness: 12 to 18 kH nitrate/nitrite as close to 0ppm is best. Aside from these main levels to watch, you should also be aware of some additional requirements. Mystery snails are an animal that needs a decent amount of calcium to thrive and help their shell grow. While some owners add it into the water with supplements, you can also feed them calcium-dense veggies as a way of introducing the mineral into the water. A win-win! They love canned green beans!!!
