Hi all! Pink Ram horns are back!

These are small red/pink snails, great for any freshwater aquarium.
They are quite hardy, and although prefer an temperature range of 18-28 C can survive temporary 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.

    • What about your snail pail?

  • Loach treats :/

    • Definately not to keep with loaches XD

  • Do you ever carry nerite snails?

    • No we do not. We do have ponds but no nerite atm.

  • Would these work with a fresh water pond?

      As long as its north of sydney and doesn't get too cold yes. These are tropical snails but they survive outside for us no problem.

  • OP, can we get another plant stem bundle? 🪴

    • Sorry? Do you mean you want another type with different plants in it? Or something else?

      • Do you still have a current promo on plants? I thought they expired

  • How many do you recommend in a 180L tank? Or get a few, and they will breed based on available food like you say?

    • +1

      Enough so they can find each other. Maybe 5-10 would work and they will breed to fill the available food.

      • Bought, thanks!

  • Would a pair of 7-8cm goldfish eat them? Are shrimp better than snail? How many would you recommend in a 25l tank? Thank you.

    • Not snails but they will eat the shrimp. Usually snails are fine with goldfish but not shrimp.

      • Why not shrimps?

        • The (cherry) shrimps will get eaten by the fish.

          I'd personally recommend against getting these snails. The snails breed like crazy and your tank will be overrun. They're usually free hitch-hikers when you buy plants from a cheap local fish shop/Gumtree/FB Marketplace.

          Almost impossible to get rid of…

  • What do they taste like?
