A Clean-Up Crew That Breeds with Ease
Mystery snails are peaceful, colorful, and fun to breed.
Tank Requirements:
10+ gallons
Temp: 74–80°F
GH: 8–18 (for healthy shells)
Tight-fitting lid — they lay eggs above waterline
Breeding Tips:
Keep at least one male and female (can’t self-fertilize)
Females lay large pink egg clutches above the waterline
Keep humidity high so eggs don’t dry out
Eggs hatch in 2–4 weeks — move to separate grow-out container
Feeding:
Algae wafers, veggies, calcium-rich foods
Provide cuttlebone or crushed coral for shell health
