Buying Guide
Recommended group option
For most shrimp listings, the group option is the better starting point for colony strength, activity, and overall value.
Choose a single specimen for display or a group for broader utility and cleanup coverage.
Current Stock Note
Most of our freshwater snails are hardy and practical additions for stable aquariums. A group option can be a smart choice when your goal is broader cleanup coverage rather than adding just one specimen.
Basic Care Guide
Snails do best in established aquariums with available biofilm, algae, or leftover foods to graze on. As with most invertebrates, consistency matters more than constantly adjusting the system.
Water Parameters
- Scientific Name: Planorbella duryi
- Recommended Temperature: 22-28°C
- Recommended pH: 7.0-8.2
- Care Level: Beginner
Frequently Asked Questions
Which option should I choose?
If you want broader cleanup coverage, a group is usually more effective than a single snail. For display purposes, one can still be a great choice.
Can I add this to a new tank?
We strongly recommend a mature, stable setup rather than a newly started aquarium.
