5 blue Color Mystery Snails (Pomacea Diffusa) Plant Safe - $10 - (Springville, CA)
Mystery Snails are one of, if not THE most popular freshwater snails in the aquarium hobby, and for good reason! They are highly unique in appearance with their large and colorful shells, their iridescently marked bodies, and their swaying tentacles. These snails, which come in several different colors, are particularly excellent for adding decoration to any aquarium, but they also make themselves extremely useful by vigorously cleaning up waste and excess food! Overview Mystery snails are extremely popular for their stunning colors as well as their practical benefits. They work hard to clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color.

They extend this tube up above the water line and then move back and forth to take the air in. These are freshwater snails and their adaptable nature makes them suitable for just about any freshwater aquarium. They are very popular for planted tanks and community tanks, and many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control.
