Originating from all over South America, the Mystery Snail is very common in the aquarium hobby. Most Mystery Snails are captive-bred these days. They are very easy to breed and if your water parameters are right, they will lay eggs, and eventually, those eggs will hatch. And if you think that is a bad thing, think again … more Mystery Snails, more algae that will be consumed from your aquarium. Now, if you have a heavily planted aquarium, I would suggest checking out some of our other snails which won’t breed in freshwater and are best suitable for planted tanks. These snails are extremely hardy and live in a vast variety of water parameters. Very slow-moving gastropods, always hungry and that will be grown in a heartbeat.
