Blueberry Snail | Viviparus sp.

Blueberry Snail

Blueberry Snails are stunning snails that are renowned for their vibrant blue coloration and intricate patterns, making them a striking addition to any freshwater tank or pond. They grow to a manageable size of 1-2 inches in diameter. Besides their visual appeal, Blueberry Snails are excellent algae eaters, helping to keep your tank clean and balanced by consuming algae and organic waste. As livebearers, they reproduce regularly, giving birth to small, fully-formed young every 1-3 weeks, ensuring a continuous and fascinating display of snail life.

Easy to care for, Blueberry Snails are peaceful and non-aggressive, making them a perfect fit for community tanks. They require minimal maintenance, but regular monitoring of water quality and occasional feeding with algae wafers or blanched vegetables will keep them healthy. These snails are shipped securely to ensure they arrive in great condition.

We keep these snails on pool filtered sand and in bare bottom tanks with a Matten filters. We feed NorthFin Foods along with Indian Almond Leaves for natural biofilm. We also use LED lighting to provide enough natural algae growth  for them to feed.
