Apple snails assorted

Add a little character to your aquarium with assorted apple snails from Richards Bay Pet Shop. Choose from the listed colour options, and ask our team to confirm the supplied species before buying. Apple snails can differ in adult size, feeding habits and plant compatibility.

A comfortable home

Use an established, filtered aquarium with enough space for the identified species at its adult size. Provide access to the water surface and a secure lid, following that species' needs. Close any openings a snail could escape through.

Water and shell care

Confirm the correct temperature, pH and mineral levels for the supplied species. Very soft or acidic water can damage shells. Test the water and maintain regular partial water changes with appropriately treated water. Ask for guidance before adding mineral supplements.

Feeding

Do not rely on algae or leftover fish food alone. Ask which sinking foods and plant-based foods suit your snail. Offer suitable portions, make sure it can reach the food, and remove uneaten food before it spoils.

Tank mates and plants

Avoid companions that attack or eat snails. Some apple snail species eat healthy aquarium plants, so do not assume this assortment is suitable for every planted tank. Tell us which fish and plants you keep so we can help check compatibility.

Treatments and responsible keeping

Check every aquarium treatment for snail compatibility, especially products containing copper. Do not medicate a shared tank without confirming the treatment is safe for your snail. Confirm species identification and any applicable local restrictions before purchase. Never release snails, eggs or aquarium contents into natural waterways or drains. Ask our team about reproduction and a responsible plan for offspring.
