Mystery Snail (Pomacea bridgesii)

The Mystery Snail is a peaceful and eye-catching freshwater snail admired for its smooth, coiled shell and wide variety of vibrant colors — including gold, blue, purple, ivory, and jade. Active and graceful, it glides along glass and décor, helping to keep the tank clean by feeding on algae and leftover food.

Known for its calm temperament and easy care, the Mystery Snail makes a wonderful addition to community aquariums. Its unique behavior and colorful shell add both beauty and balance to any aquatic setup.
