I bought them at petco.......

It's blue ...... I don't know if it's a mystery?[schild=19 fontcolor=C0C0C0 shadowcolor=C0C0C0 shieldshadow=1]I don't know...[/schild]

I will check with petco....?

A while back someone was selling blue snails in this forum.... They also had a lot of information on them.... They had their own website...... Does anyone have any idea of that website address....?

Thanks!

Most snails work well with Bettas, but some can multiply very fast and become a problem.

THanks RC

I recently had one (blue mystery snail) with my betta in a 2 gallon bowl...... However, I noticed that the water condition was getting bad pretty fast so I had to remove it...... I was expecting it to keep the bowl cleaner.... but, it didn't work..... Plus it's not the most interesting thing to watch.....

No more snails with my bettas.....

Snails in a small tank add to the Bio load, but are good at eating uneaten food. I use them in my fry tanks because they get fed pretty heavy.
