Aquatic Arts10 Live Ivory Mystery Snails | Freshwater Aquarium Species | Safe in Tetra / Guppy / Betta Fish Tank | Clear Undergravel Substrate

I saw some negative reviews about them being dead on arrival - so when mine arrived I thought they were dead or going to die. So I went online and asked "how can I revive?" "how long can they be dry?" and found out a lot about these beauties - they can go 5 days completely dry - mine were well packed in a container with a lightly damp cloth - it wasn't 5 days since I'd ordered them. They seal themselves in with the hard foot and it looks dry, they need time to hydrate and they need to eat something to get their energy. Then they are absolutely the most interesting creatures I've ever seen and gorgeous. Oh and I ordered 3 but got 3 large and one small - BONUS!!! Some of the reviews I indicate that they didn't research and instead threw away their gorgeous little babies in the trash because they didn't know better. Very very sad.

Ordered 3, received 4. Clear easy to follow acclimatization instructions. After they got over their stress period they've been active and are fun to watch go about their snail business.

Snails arrived in great packaging and were fine upon arrival.

I'll point out now that my mystery snail wasn't the bone-white color you see in the picture, but a peach - still very pale and not as boldly colored as golden, but not a snail I'll call Snow White. My snail popped out of his shell in less than 15 minutes of setting his bag in the water to acclimate. Shell showed no lack of calcium and it grew quickly in my limestone water.I ended up calling my snail Cthulhu after watching him ethereally "warble" across the surface of a marimo ball, only to get to one side, roll the ball over, fall down, and come back out of his shell one eye and antennae at a time. I had Cthulhu for 3 months until I dumbly forgot the infamous relation between snails and salt when I was treating ich in my new tank. Don't be like me.I miss watching him cruise around. Once I get a million other things halfway done I'll be picking up a new Cthulhu, and friends. They are a hoot to watch and your fish will enjoy the company.

My little guy grew and lasted several weeks but I didn't know I was supposed to feed him : (I thought he got his nutrients from the aquarium substrate. Clear instructions on when, how, and what to feed the Mystery Snails would be great for ignorant pet parents like me.

Arrived early, arrived alive and healthy. My snail was wrapped in a plastic container in a wet paper towel rolled up, good packaging, snail had plenty of oxygen when traveling. Snails super lively, moving all around my 5 gallon tank, little small but super happy with it. Very cute snail.

Got three of these little guys late March, they came in very nice and secure packaging. After about 20 minutes of acclimating, they became very active and have been amazing additions to my 10 gallon tank! They grew very quickly and continue to be active! I ordered these early on in the year, where it gets very hot after the first few months. I recommend paying attention to how your climate will effect the delivery of these little guys, the suppliers can only prevent so much. The snails are also very hardy, they have survived 48 hours of living in a tub filled with bottled water, and bounced right back after being placed into their tank. Overall, wonderful product!

I defently recommend this snail it was packaged beautifully it came in a bag which was is a stirfoam cup surrounded by insulation type stuff and since it is winter a little heating packet!! The snail its self is so beautiful it is a pretty white color it looks just like the picture he (I call the snail a he lol) crawls around every were it has a lot of room because I have a 3 gallon tank his tank mate is a male betta fish and an alege fish (I don't know the correct name for it )lol and they all do perfect together as far as food goes I get those little alege tablets which I got from Walmart and he seems to love it!! I was very worried about getting a live animal online but it came very fast and live and healthy!! I am about to order another one!!!!!
