***IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTICE***
USPS has been unreliable since early 2021 and has announced 1st class mail can take up to 2 weeks for delivery from now on. Because of frequent USPS delays, most plant sellers do not cover 1st class mail. But I will offer a Live Arrival Guarantee for 1st class mail up to five days in transit. If USPS delivers after 5 days, Live Arrival Guarantee will be voided. If decide to move forward with the purchase, I will assume you read this shipping notice and understand the risks of late USPS delivery/snail arriving dead.

Live Arrival Guarantee is offered with USPS Priority mail regardless of delivery time. It's a few bucks extra that is part of the purchase and will have a higher chance of arriving on time and alive.
CARE
:
Ramshorn Snails are s great addition to an aquarium for some color and decoration. They also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color. While they are effective algae-eaters, they do not harm live plants as long as there is algae present in the tank. In addition to eating algae, they also eat waste, and invertebrate pellets or fish food. Snails are very sensitive to copper, so watch out for copper if you use tap water in your tank.
RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:
pH level range: 7.0 and up
Temperature range: 60° - 80° F (16° - 27° C)
Water type: Soft to hard
Recommended Aquatic Arts tank mates: Other types of snails (Nerite snails, Mystery Snails, Sulawesi Snails, etc.), dwarf shrimp. They can also be kept with small to medium-sized, non-aggressive fish.
Additional notes: Ramshorn Snails are not picky at all about their water parameters, and they tend to reproduce like crazy in almost any condition. If you run into problems with snail overpopulation, a few Assassin Snails will quickly take care of the problem.
***ACCLIMATION***
RECOMMENDED
: To acclimate your new snails, start by adding 1 TB of tank water every 10 minutes over the course of an hour before adding them to your fish tank. This helps ease the shock of new water parameters.
*Snails may not move or be lethargic up to a day from being out of water for days during transit. Put your snails in an area of your tank with some food pellets and check back to see if they've moved over the next few days.
*Snails may float when they first enter your tank, it's because of air pockets inside their shell. They will find their bearings when they start moving around.
***Snails are likely to be dead when their bodies are out of their shells and smell rotten.
***SHIPPING***
- Snails are well-packaged in a small bag filled with air and a wet paper towel to retain moisture that will include algae wafer so they have something to eat in transit. It will be placed in a shipping package that has a bubble warp built-in to prevent the snails from being smashed in transit.
