Snails

Snails are popular additions to freshwater aquariums due to their ability to assist with algae control and tank cleanliness. These invertebrates come in a variety of species, such as Nerite Snails, Mystery Snails, and Ramshorn Snails, each offering unique benefits to the aquarium ecosystem. Snails are generally peaceful and can coexist with most fish species, making them ideal for community tanks. They are known for grazing on algae, leftover food, and detritus, helping to maintain a cleaner tank environment. Snails also prefer tanks with plenty of hiding spots, such as plants and rocks, and require calcium-rich water to maintain healthy shells. Their low-maintenance nature and beneficial role in tank upkeep make them a popular choice for aquarists.
