FAQs
Will Mystery Snails eat aquarium plants?
No, Mystery Snails are not known for eating healthy aquarium plants. They mainly feed on algae, decaying plant matter, and leftover fish food. However, they may nibble on dying or soft plant leaves, but they won’t harm live, healthy plants in your tank.
Can Mystery Snails live with Bettas?
Yes, Mystery Snails can generally live peacefully with Betta fish. Bettas may sometimes show curiosity, but most will ignore the snails. Ensure your Betta is not overly aggressive, and provide hiding spots for the snails in case your Betta becomes territorial.
How many Mystery Snails per gallon?
The general rule of thumb is to keep one Mystery Snail per 5 gallons of water. Overcrowding can lead to a build-up of waste, affecting water quality. For a 10-gallon tank, two Mystery Snails would be ideal, leaving space for other tank inhabitants.

My shrimp were healthy and I even got a berried female. The staff in store are very friendly and knowledgeable. The health of the fish in the store makes me want to only buy live animals from here.
I picked up my ember tetras about 3 weeks ago and they're all doing well! Very bright and lively in the tank. They took a bit of time to adjust but now they're starting to swim in the open a lot more. Great fish and awesome experience. The staff are very knowledgeable about all of the fish and answered all of the questions I had.
Very good to order from.
