Dark Purple Mystery Snail

Dark Purple Mystery Snails – the mysterious, elegant addition your aquarium has been waiting for! These snails bring a touch of intrigue with their deep, velvety purple shells, adding a pop of color that's both captivating and calming. Easily confused with the Illegal 'Apple snails' due to their shape, these little guys are a completely different species (Pomacea bridgesii)! These Dark Purple Mystery snails get larger (between 2- 3 inches), and are voracious algae and detritus eaters. They'll even attack hair algae! So attractive and striking in the planted tank, these are completely peaceful little creatures, and will quickly clean up any waste left over by other inhabitants. They are shrimp safe. Curiously, Mystery snails regularly make trips outside the water, using a 'Siphon' of sorts. Be sure to keep your water line a few inches from the edge of your tank to allow them to roam!
