Product description You will receive healthy snails, about 10mm long. They will grow to about twice that. These are juveniles, about 5 to 8 months old and they will live for about 3 years. They have a very distinct conical shell which is a light creamy brown, mottled with a darker brown. These snails are excellent algae cleaners and an essential part of any aquarium's balanced freshwater ecosystem. They're also quite mesmerising to watch! They prefer a sandy substrate as they like to burrow, which does help to keep the substrate clean. They are themselves food for larger fish, including goldfish, but will multiply readily given the chance, so be prepared for that. Malaysian Trumpet Snails are tolerant of a wide range of fresh water tank conditions, comfortable up to about 25 degrees and will probably survive higher. pH levels of 7 to 8 are ideal. Our snails are well fed on a calcium rich diet to help with their shells. They won't need any special care as they will just manage on the algae and won't eat any live plants. AquaLife UK gather daily, fresh to order from our Devon tanks and dispatch by 1st Class Royal Mail, posting Monday to Thursday to avoid potential weekend delays. Snails are carefully packaged but should they not arrive safely please let us know and they will be replaced. Indications aquarium maintenance
