About
The Magenta Mystery Snail is one of the most visually striking colour variants of Pomacea bridgesii, displaying a warm magenta-pink body with a complementary shell pattern. Its vibrant, unusual colouration is rare in the freshwater hobby and draws the eye immediately in planted aquariums. Like all Mystery Snail variants, it is completely plant-safe, peaceful, and an effective scavenger.
Care Guide
Maintain calcium-rich, slightly alkaline water (GH 8+, pH 7.0-8.0). Provide a secure-fitting lid. Supplement with calcium-enriched foods including cuttlebone and calcium wafers. Avoid copper medications.
