The black Mystery snail is yet another beautiful snail from the Ampullariidae family. While it has a black body, the snails shell is actually brownish in color with black stripe. Mystery snails have become a huge part of Flip Aquatics due to their many benefits for breeding and keeping shrimp. The following reasons are why we have found these snails to be a crucial part of our shrimp tanks:
Mystery snails are from the genus Ampullariidae. They originate from South America and are extremely peaceful. In a shrimp tank, they are the gentile giant. The only downside to mystery snails is that their main diet in the wild is from feeding on dying vegetation. This means that mystery snails will not eat healthy plants. They will feed on dying plants or leaves that have fallen off the plant. These snails will thrive off of leaf matter. The snail feces is believed to be beneficial to shrimp and their overall health. There are over 120 species of snails with the Ampullariidae family.
Please note: During shipping, snails sometimes go into a hibernation-like state and may not become fully active for up to a week once acclimated to your aquarium.

I am very happy with my snails. They are active and very enjoyable to watch
These beautiful guys have been hard at work, moving around and acting like a tiny clean-up crew in my tank. They're slightly larger than I was expecting, which is a delight. The shells are beautiful, dark and shiny with stripes. My shrimp are even enjoying hitching a ride on these active snails as they cruise by! I am so happy with this new addition to our little aquatic family.
Arrived healthy and look great in their new home!
Very happy with my order, all fish and snails were delivered in excellent condition. After a week of living in my aquariums they all are doing great 👍.
Got these guys to add to my aquatic turtle’s tank! After they had been acclimated for 2 days I added them in and they got right to work. Absolutely fascinating to watch and great cleaners. My turtle hasn’t been too interested in them since they arrived so hopefully they will continue to live peacefully. The flip aquatics crew got them
To me safe and sound just 3 days after purchase!
