The snail arrived healthy and has been active in the tank for two months. It helps clean algae without harming plants. I keep the tank with a consistent light cycle and it’s thriving.

It’s a quiet addition to the tank and doesn’t seem to stress other fish. I noticed it’s more active during the day and hides in crevices at night. Water conditions are stable now.

Great for algae control. I didn’t expect it to be so active and it’s become a regular part of the tank. I maintain a 12-hour light cycle and it adapts well.
