Ramshorn Snails (Rams-Horn Snails) are rare-looking snails that look magnificent in any tank. The circular design of their shells make for a dazzling creature slowly cleaning up your tank from unwanted leftover food by your other tank creatures.
As an aquarist, I personally have them in my tanks but do take note that assassin snails love to feed on them – so better not put both together in one tank.
Our Ramshorn Snails are bred in captivity so they are clean, healthy and very hardy.

Getting 2 to 3 of these snails should be enough for you as they populate very quickly. Make sure you don’t have a lot of leftover food in your tank if you want to control their population.

We ensure the best possible service for your purchase!
Nice snails. Cute as in “just the right size”, adorable and not overwhelmingly big. I just hope my slightly high GH & KH will offset my slightly low pH of 6.4-6.8 since they like alkaline water better. At least maybe that will control their reproduction to “pest level”, just enough for them to eat excess algae & dead organic matter but not enough for them to die of starvation. I also hope my liquid fertilizer (Calcium) will be enough to sustain the health of their shells. If they start cracking or if I see them eating each other’s shell, I might need to add coral shells just to provide for their nutritional needs. Again as usual, they came with many freebies. Thanks so much AquascapePH.
