Added a pair to my 20-gallon tank and they’ve been active since day one. They don’t seem to eat much but keep the algae under control. The spines are striking and they look great in the planted area. Easy to care for and a nice visual addition.
Carl Cameron –
They arrived quickly and looked healthy. I noticed them cleaning the glass and detritus near the plants. Not the most active, but they’re peaceful and don’t stress the fish. A nice touch for a natural look.
Charles Paige –
The snails are beautiful with their spiny shells. I’ve had them for two months and they’ve helped reduce algae growth. They don’t seem to harm any of the plants or fish. Definitely worth adding to a freshwater setup.
