**Please note this snail's color is not red like a rose. It's more like a reddish bronze.

- My snails live indoors in my aquariums and raised in color-specific tanks. They are not all mixed up together so you will get the best colors possible.

CARE
Ramshorn Snails are very attractive and are great for adding some color and decoration to your aquarium, but they also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color.  While they are effective algae-eaters, they do not harm live plants.
 
RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: 
  • pH level range: 7.0 and up 
  • Temperature range: 60° - 80° F (16° - 27° C) 
  • Water type: Soft to hard 
  • Recommended Aquatic Arts tank mates: Other types of snails (Nerite snails, Mystery Snails, Sulawesi Snails, etc.), dwarf shrimp . They can also be kept with small to medium-sized, non-aggressive fish. 
  • Additional notes: Ramshorn Snails are not picky at all about their water parameters, and they tend to reproduce like crazy in almost any conditions. If you run into problems with snail overpopulation, a few Assassin Snails will quickly take care of the problem. Ramshorn Snails eat algae, waste, and invertebrate pellets or fish food. Snails are very sensitive to copper, so watch out for copper if you use tap water in your tank.
ACCLIMATION
It's highly recommended to acclimate your new snails by adding 1 TB of tank water every 10 minutes over the course of an hour before adding them to your fish tank. This helps ease the shock of new water parameters. 
***Snails may not move or be lethargic up to a day from being out of water for days during transit. Put your snails in an area of your tank with some food pellets and check back to see if they've moved over the next few days. 
***Snails may float when they first enter your tank, it's because of air pockets inside their shell. They will find their bearings when they start moving around.
***Snails are likely to be dead when their bodies are out of their shells and smell rotten.

*SHIPPING

- Snails are well-packaged inside a deli cup with a wet paper towel and punctured hole for air. The cup is then placed inside a shipping box then covered with a poly mailer. During winter, denim insulation will be used to shield the snails from the cold. During Summer, reflective insulation is used. 

- I ship orders on SATURDAYS & MONDAYS only. After shipping thousands of orders, I've found this schedule to be the best days to ship, packages spend the least amount of time in transit.

- Each purchase is provided with a tracking #, please follow the route of your package and bring in your snails promptly after the delivery. Any DOA after 3 hours of delivery is void. Plants left outside in high/low temperatures will drastically lower their ability to survive. 


*LIVE Guarantee/ Reporting DOA

- 1st class mail is guaranteed up to 5 days in transit. If USPS delivers after 5 days, Live Arrival Guarantee will be voided. 

- Priority mail is guaranteed regardless of delivery time. Please pay a few bucks extra for Priority so your snails have a higher chance of arriving on time & in good condition. You can choose your shipping option at checkout by clicking the drop-down menu.

- Temperature is very important for live delivery. Please check the 7 day weather forecast in your location before placing your order. My customers have not had any DOA issues due to cold/hot weather but please be aware that live arrival guarantee is voided when your temperatures are below 30F or above 90F. 

- If you receive DOA snails, please message me within 3 hours of the FIRST delivery attempt and send a 30 second video of the snails to my email. Guarantee is void if the 1st delivery attempt is unsuccessful. 

- DOA refund covers the cost of the snails only, shipping costs are non-refundable. Orders with free shipping will be deducted $5 for cost of postage. 


*RETURN

Due to the nature of live snails, I cannot accept returns. However, if you have any issues or concerns, please contact me so we can have a discussion. 


*FEEDBACK / REVIEW 

If you encounter any problems, always contact me before deciding to leave negative or neutral feedback. I'll do my best to resolve issues within reason but please contact me and let me know what is happening. These sales support the cost of my family's fish hobby and reviews are very important for our survival as a small business. 


*LOCAL LAWS

It's the responsibility of buyers to know what plants and Invertebrates are legal to keep in their state and which are considered invasive or noxious in their state. Please make sure you research this before ordering. I encourage all buyers to abide and follow the rules their home state has placed on live plants and Invertebrates as established by their home state department of agriculture.
