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

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!
The 3 snails I received are doing fantastic in their new home with the other fish that came with the order. They are cleaning up the tank fairly well and are interesting entertainment when they eat on glass.
I've had japanese trapdoor snails before and I love them. Slow breeder and algae and leftover food eating monsters 😁. I purchased three and I got one male and two female. First day in quarantine my population increased by three 😁. Fifth day I got two more babies. No more for now, I'm sure I can find a place for the babies in one of my tanks 💜🐌
