About This Species

These Magenta Mystery Snails (Pomacea Bridgesii) are not only beautiful but they are great algae eaters. They are relatively difficult to source for compared to the rest of the mystery snails. They eat algae off of aquarium walls, plants and substrate. These snails are also peaceful creatures will not bother other tank inhabitants.  We sell our snails at around 1 inch to 1.5" in diameter, but they can grow up to 3 inches in diameter. 

The difference between Magenta Mystery Snails and the Purple Mystery Snails is that Magenta Mystery Snails have white flesh which results in a lighter coloration while the Purple Mystery Snails have black flesh which results in a darker coloration. The color of their shells are technically the same.

These snails have pretty big appetites and grow in size fairly quickly. We feed a combination of our own foods Shrimpy Party, protein party, blanched vegetables (Spinach and Zucchini) and Mulberry leaves.

My magenta snail arrived alive and in good condition. Unfortunately the other snail I ordered perished in transit, but this little guy managed to hang in there despite its travel companion not making it. I'm very happy this fella did well and is exploring and active already! So stinking cute :)

Arrived with the others much faster than expected. Came very well packaged and in the wet paper towel and container. He was the slowest to open up and start exploring but still very active. His shell is much brighter than the picture shows and his white color is a beautiful contrast.

One of the 7 wasn't like the others. But all healthy and good to go otherwise.

I received 3 happy healthy snails. Shipped super fast, very secure, and with a few little pieces of frog bit I think.. so that’s a cool extra.

She’s so pretty! Arrived quickly and started moving around as soon as I started the drip acclimation. I’ve had her about a week and a half now and she’s already grown some.

He is starting to make a presence. I think he needs more snail company and some driftwood.

My magenta mystery snail, Snail Bop, is very feisty and can usually be found running laps around the aquarium or bopping the shrimp away from a tasty morsel that she would like to eat. I love her very much.

I have named my new friend Maggie and she is a mover! It took her no time to get a lay of the land and she loves to eat the shrimps food. Her pretty shell adds color to the tank and I am already contemplating buying another snail from Shrimpy Business.

One arrived very lively and has grown so much. Might be the one laying eggs in the community tank. Can't wait to find out.
The other one has not done well. Hasn't grown at all and has never been busy working the tank. Now for over a week just laying on the bottom not moving but still reacts to touch. I wish I could help it but don't know what to do. Poor baby.

Snail came alive and healthy, very vibrant color! It was active from the very beginning, perhaps too much so. It has escaped my tank twice and I've had to peel him from my hardwood floors twice trying to go for an adventure. Still figuring out how he gets out and how to keep him in.
