Pink Ramshorn Snails

Pink Ramshorn snails are a unique color morph with an amazing shell coloration. They are easily cared for and prefer harder water. Ramshorn snails are a great addition to any aquarium. Not only can they display some stunning shell and body colors, Ramshorn snails serve many useful purposes for any aquarium. A major benefit of snails is that they clean the aquarium glass, plants, substrates and other tank décor of algae. Other benefits of keeping snails are listed below. While snails are great for most aquarium, they can also serve another very useful purpose: live food. Fish like pea puffers need a live food source and baby Ramshorn snails can be just that. 

You will receive Pink Ramshorn snails ranging in size. Most snails will be the size of a marble in diameter or slightly smaller. If planning to order snails online, read below to see the best way to handle receiving snails in the mail. 

Main Benefits:

  • Snails help keep a shrimp tank from re-cycling by providing an adequate bio-load
  • Eat left over food to prevent ammonia spikes
  • Hardy so they can adjust to most water parameters 
  • Great live food source for pea puffers and predatory fish 

When Receiving Snails: 

  1. Place the snails in a corner of the tank and make a mental note where they were place
  2. Watch the snails over 7 days, if they do not move remove them from the aquarium
  3. Give the snails a smell and if they stink, then they are dead
  4. If they do not smell, add them back to the aquarium and give it another 3 days
  5. It is common for snails to burrow into the substrate and disappear from sight

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.

Fun pet, fast shipping.

Free shipping was fast and shipment was packed very well. My two pink ramshorn arrived with ten fantasy blue dream shrimp with an additional two just in case shrimp. No deaths, and the combination of weather and the optional heat pack meant that when the box arrived, the breather bags were only a couple degrees off tank temperature, so I was able to quickly start drip acclimating. Both snails were already active in the bag, and about 3/8” shell diameter. While the shrimp acclimated, as the snail FAQ recommended, I placed the snails directly in the tank and they immediately began cruising around and getting down to work cleaning the tank. They are already showing new shell growth and really pop against the plants in the tank!

I have made and received several snails, some dwarf crayfish, plants and nano fish from Flip Aquatics for my aquarium. Only one crayfish arrived quite healthy and active. I emailed Flip Aquatics to notify them of the dead animal and an immediate store refund allowing me to replace and receive an active and healthy crayfish. I order from them because they have excellent choices of healthy stock and stand behind their business 100%.
