Currently these snails are between .5" - 1" in dia. They will get slightly larger than a golf ball. Review: Awesome snail! Full of personality! - This is such a delightful snail! You can tell the snail as well cared for because she was not shy and instantly came out to explore the aquarium. She’s been out and about without hiding for the past two days exploring everything. I don’t think I’ve ever been so entertained by a snail. She is not the least bit aggressive and has a committee of Ramshorn that follow her around as she grazes that she doesn’t mind at all. She is also on the small size meaning that she is young and will last for many years hopefully. She eats all the dead spots off of my plans and actually lifts up algae wafers to take a bite like a giant cookie. I highly recommend this seller Review: Loving our new mystery snail - Great addition to our aquarium!! Beautiful snail, arrived in excellent condition!

I have three in my tank with five adult mystery snails and a few babies, all is well so far I got them to get rid of the hitch hiker bladder snails! When the snails are gone I’ll have to move my assassins to the five gallon tank and feed them other food... cause... if they run out of the other snails I’m sure my mystery snails will start looking tasty ... can’t have that **Q: Do you ship to the state of Hawaii?** A: The state of Hawaii's prohibited shipping of live snails. **Q: The directions do not state how long to quarantine the 🐌 His tankmate is a betta, so I want to make sure he is parasite free. How long to quarantine?** A: I also put mine in right away, a week should be fine if you really want to tho :-) **Q: Can they survive in my saltwater aquarium?** A: No, not at all. These are strictly freshwater snails. Nerite snails can be acclimated to saltwater, but, mystery snails can not. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome snail!
