Ivory Mystery Snail – Pomacea bridgesii (Ivory Variant)

The Ivory Mystery Snail is a clean-up buddy that also makes your tank look classy. With that creamy-white shell and calm nature, these guys are like little underwater gliders. They come from slow rivers in South America and do great in planted tanks with soft light and smooth gravel.

Product Description

These snails don’t grow huge — usually around 2.5 to 3 inches max. The pale ivory shell looks awesome when it catches the tank light, kinda glowing against green plants or darker backgrounds. They spend their day cruising around, eating algae, old food bits, and whatever else they find lying around.

Keep one per 2.5 gallons or so — they like their space but also don’t mind some calm tank mates. With good care, they’ll live about a year, maybe a bit longer if water stays clean and food’s steady. Perfect for anyone who wants something peaceful, helpful, and not fussy to look after.

They’ll munch on algae, blanched zucchini or spinach, and some sinking pellets or wafers. Feed small bits a few times a week, and they’ll keep your tank tidy without extra work.
