Hi everyone! We have blue Rams Horns back in stock! :) feel free to ask any questions below.
These are small blue and red snails, great for any freshwater aquarium.
They are quite hardy, and although prefer an temperature range of 18-28 C can survive lower temperatures over winter.
Ram Horns can grow to over 2cm in size, but usually slow down their growth significantly at about 1cm in diameter.
FAQ:
People often inquire about snails exploding in population when introduced to a tank, but there is a bit of a misconception with this: Snails will propagate until they reach an equilibrium with the food available for them in the tank. If you add snails and their population explodes, it means there is tones of food (usually left over fish food) for them to eat, and they are eating it. In other words: Doing their job. Once the food is gone, their population will reduce to enough snails that can survive on how much food is left after your fish are done with it. If they still keep up a massive population, that usually means you are feeding your fish too much.
Postage:
Snails are very resilient to postage issues, so much so we can send them in letters ($3 postage) and 99% of the time there is no issue. We do replace or refund fully if there are any issues with your order as well anyway.
For those of you wondering what to do with the excessive snails you have in your tank…
