Aquatic Freshwater Snail Food Mix #2 with Calcium- Snail,Shrimp & Crayfish Food (2oz)- A2

This is my go-to snail food for my mysteries. I have five currently and the bag lasts a couple of months (they eat fish food that floats to the bottom of the tank and probably some algae). They make a bee line to them when I drop them in the tank. It is a small bag but I am not sure I would want anything larger given the time it takes to get through. The price is fine with me. I don't know if the food itself is the reason (I suspect it is a fairly good amount of the reason) but of my five, three are now pushing three years old- which is the longest I've had any snail before them for.

I've purchased several different brands/types of food for my mystery snails. I feed them using a glass tube and dish so I can see what gets eaten and what falls apart. This one is the best! Usually gets eaten right away but what doesn't get quickly eaten stays mostly solid and doesn't turn into dust like other brands. Corys like it too, but the fish leave it alone mostly. I've noticed when I feed them this they don't clean the algae as much, so I just turn down my lights for a few days, I'd rather have low light (or clean glass more often) and give them this because I know they love it. They go right to the dish when hungry and I swear they are more active, are laying eggs more often, and have GROWN SO MUCH since starting this food!

Our bottom feeders like this food. We recommend this product. Buy the larger size bag.

I now consider this a must-have if you love mystery snails like I do. My snails straight up were not getting enough calcium. My gold mystery snails, not pictured, were getting sluggish and stuck upside down. My newer, younger, blue snails had some minor shell damage from their trip to my home. You can really see the major growth on their shells in just over a week of feeding this food. The gold ones have really turned around too! Already showing shell growth and not stuck upside down. Acting much more “mystery snail-y” and chugging along and jumping off of things. I only didn’t picture the golds because the growth is hard to see compared to the little blues. I included a video of two of the blues racing to the food I just dropped in, so you know they like it. It can be considered on the pricier side BUT for healthy snails I find it entirely worth it. Plus, the snails don’t need much per day! I only drop in a few pellets about 5 times a week, and will likely drop that amount a little if I find the food being eaten more by the tiny ramshorns than the mysteries. Don’t over feed! It will cloud up your water fast if you drop in a ton at once. If you’re worried about snail explosion, keep the dosage very small at one time and keep an eye on it. Mystery snails are much easier to cull as eggs than “pest” snails so you want to make sure they’re getting most of it.

This is some great good for my mystery snails and shrimp. The fish seem to love it too. My Corydora catfish try to gobble it up so i try to feed this late at night. My snails definitely love it. Wish it came in a bigger size and was a little more affordable but i believe it is very high quality and will continue to purchase for my snails and shrimp.

Beyond upset. Less than a week after ordering this product and reading outstanding reviews I have had two snails (each in a separate tank) pass away. These were previously healthy and active snails. I am absolutely terrified of losing any of my other snails now. The food has been the only new change so I find it highly suspicious that two very healthy, active mystery snails in completely separate aquariums died less than a week after starting this food. I cannot 100% say for certain that is what happened but I find it highly suspicious.

works real good plan order again

My mystery snails love this food, both of them managed to breed and the female laid 7 egg sacks before the daddy died. His cause of death is unknown, I do not know his age as I haven’t had him since he was a baby. And now I’ve got over 80 babies that have hatched. And my adult female & her babies love this food. I got it because it has a good calcium content for healthy shells (my female has a cracked shell)
