The snails are visually striking with their unique spiky shells. They’ve been active in my 20-gallon tank for two months and seem to help with algae control. Easy to maintain and add a nice aesthetic touch.

I was curious about the appearance of this snail and it lived up to the description. The spikes on the shell are quite noticeable. They don’t seem to cause any issues in my tank and are active during the day.

The snails arrived in good condition. They are different from common snails and look interesting. I’ve noticed they don’t eat much and may need more algae to stay active.
