Provide a fully cycled aquarium with stable water quality and sufficient minerals, especially calcium, to support healthy shell growth. Maintain water around 20–28°C with a pH of approximately 7.0–8.0 and moderate to hard water. Supplement natural algae and biofilm with dedicated snail foods and vegetables. Leave a gap above the waterline for air breathing and egg laying, and use a secure lid because they may climb out. Avoid copper-based treatments and tankmates that prey on snails. They may nibble on very soft or decaying plant material but generally leave healthy plants alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KeepingFishSimple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67748078977213,"sku":"LIVE-SNAIL-IVORY-MYSTERY-SNAIL-1PK","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2716\/2486\/files\/IvoryMysterySnail.png?v=1791879154","url":"https:\/\/keepingfishsimple.com\/products\/ivory-mystery-snail-pomacea-diffusa-live-fish","provider":"KeepingFishSimple","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
