-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 10 gallons for a single Mystery Snail. They can thrive in small to medium-sized tanks.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 68-82°F (20-28°C), a neutral pH level around 7.0, and moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to ensure good water quality without strong currents. Snails can be sensitive to water parameters, so regular maintenance is crucial.
-
Aquascape: Decorate the tank with smooth, soft-edged decorations, as sharp or abrasive surfaces can damage their delicate shells. Provide aquatic plants and driftwood.
-
Tank Mates: Mystery Snails are peaceful and can be kept with a variety of community fish. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
-
Diet: They are primarily herbivores and graze on algae and detritus. Supplement their diet with blanched vegetables like zucchini or spinach. Calcium-rich foods help maintain their shells.
