10 JUVENILE Colorful Ramshorn Snails. Easy Fun Color for Aquarium Algae Pet Rams

Description: Ten+ Juvenile Colorful Ramshorn Snails. Easy Fun Color & Algae Cleaners For Your Nano Tank Shipped with USPS First Class. Hello Everyone! I am listing a group of ten mostly JUVENILE Colorful mix of Ramshorn snails. These can get as large as a quarter, but those I'll send will be a dime sized, or smaller. Plenty of time to grow and acclimate. I want to add this again: This listing is for the JUVENILE OFFSPRING, from the adults pictured. The ones you receive will be small, and not fully grown. The color on them tends to deepen as they grow. I have bred these for years in my own tanks and have seen them pretty much breed true to color, with a very occasional off throw here and there. You can see the variation in Pink, Blue, Red and Brown shades in the adults in the photos above. I've tried to include different lighting to show off the range, but yours may grow up to be orangey, chestnut, salmon, or even an occasional pale violet! I love these for their peaceful algae and detritus cleaning abilities, and love that they add so much color to my tank! These do not eat live plants. They will munch on dead or dying parts, and scrub away algae on leaves. That's about it. Ramshorn snails will breed in freshwater, so if you are overfeeding, expect that you'll have quite a few generations soon!I actually like to use my snail populations as bellwethers in my various community tanks. If I see a sudden jump in egg clutches or babies, I know I need to back off feeding for a bit. This isn't to say snails need to be fed at all anyway. They'll eat mulm and whatever scraps your fish leave around. Keep no scraps around. Snails love heavily planted tanks, and will not bother other community members such as shrimp etc... However, Loaches, puffers and Cichlids will eat these snails. These are kept in tap water; any old tap water will do.Mine are about 65f in the winter (84f in the summer), 7.4 pH, and ~200ppm gh. Under 40F where you are? Don’t forget your HEAT PACK! https://www.ebay.com/itm/393748599367 I have also tested these in some of my unheated, unfiltered Walstad tanks, and they do beautifully. I have not had success keeping these in Reverse- Osmosis water (even remineralized), so I wouldn't recommend it. Waters too soft? I throw in a chunk of cuttlebone (the kind for parakeets), and that keeps their shells strong. Due to the dilation on USPS shipping estimates this summer, we will begin shipping ONCE A WEEK on Mondays. This is re: your feedback, and gives your live orders the best chance of making it to you safely before the weekend.Much love, and be safe,Cassandra Need extra plants for your small tank?
