Mystery Snail Care: Types, Lifespan, Food & More

The mystery snail (Pomacea bridgesii), with wiggling tails and eye-catching colors, is among the most charming freshwater snails.

These freshwater snails are a great addition to any aquarium, especially popular for planted tanks and community tanks.
