Japanese Trapdoor Snails also go by Chinese Mystery Snails or it's scientific name SINOTAIA QUADRATA. These snails have a spiral shaped shell with unique coloration and patterns. They tend to have a mixture of brown, green and white, every snail will have different patterns and coloration.
These snails are sold at about 1/2". but can grow up to 2 inches in length!
They are great algae cleaners and will do minimal damage to plants. We supplement their feeding with sinking pellets and blanch vegetables. They are also completely peaceful and will not bother any freshwater shrimp or nano fish.
Recommended Tank Parameters:
Temperature: 68F - 84F
PH: 7.4-8.4
KH: 3-14

Two normal brown or tan snails, one with the greenish turquoise shell—all are doing well. Very satisfied and will order more as soon as I setup and get another tank brewing.
Getting another!!
Beautiful little fellas!
Lovely vibrant color, arrived healthy and active.
3 active Japanese trapdoor snails exploring their new home!
I received 3 snails at no charge, to replace 2 that had died during a previous shipment. I reached out to Customer Service with notification and pictures of the deceased animals and they responded with an off of a refund or gift card. Since I was going to order 3 more to replace them I opted for a gift card and Gwen sent my order free of charge added to an order I made for shrimp. Great Customer service!
