About

The Olive Mystery Snail displays an earthy olive-green to brown-olive shell that blends naturally into planted, Biotope, and nature-style aquascapes. Its muted, naturalistic tones provide a pleasant complement to brightly colored fish and plants without competing for visual attention. It shares the same docile, plant-safe scavenging nature common to all Pomacea bridgesii variants.

Care Guide

Maintain calcium-adequate water (GH 8+) for healthy shell growth. Provide tight-fitting lid to prevent escape. Feed algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and supplement with cuttlebone. Avoid any copper-containing treatments.
