Ram Horn Aquarium Snail (Aquarium Cleaner) $1.80 Each + $3 Postage ($12 Express, $0 SYD C&C) @ Sydney Aquascapes

50

Ram horns are once more down below $2! To $1.80.

These are small gold and brown snails, great for any freshwater aquarium. Posted to anywhere in Australia.
They are quite hardy, and although prefer an temperature range of 18-28 C can survive lower temperatures over winter.

Ram Horns can grow to over 2cm in size, but usually slow down their growth significantly at about 1cm in diameter.

FAQ:
People often inquire about snails exploding in population when introduced to a tank, but there is a bit of a misconception with this: Snails will propagate until they reach an equilibrium with the food available for them in the tank. If you add snails and their population explodes, it means there is tones of food (usually left over fish food) for them to eat, and they are eating it. In other words: Doing their job. Once the food is gone, their population will reduce to enough snails that can survive on how much food is left after your fish are done with it. If they still keep up a massive population, that usually means you are feeding your fish too much.

Postage:
Snails are very resilient to postage issues, so much so we can send them in letters and 99% of the time there is no issue. We do replace or refund fully if there are any issues with your order as well anyway.

    Won't they get crushed in the mail?

      We send them in a cardboard "letter" box, so no, we haven't had that happen before.

      • Do these eat algae? And would they last in an outdoor fish pond? It's got a net. It's only fish, water, plants and algae

        • In NSW should be fine, as long as it doesn't freeze or get too close they can be fine. They do eat algae, but its not a solution to algae problems.

    Just confirming, express post isn't necessary for snails?

    • +2

      Yes, we have a DOA policy and they are usually fine.

      • Thanks for the quick reply! Currently sold out at the moment though, but will keep an eye out for the next deal

          Ah. That is actually a mistake, i have updated stock now. We still have a few.

          • @Brandingo: Awesome! I've just put in an order for some. Thanks for the update!

  • I got snails with the plant pack I got from these guys. Not the biggest fan but it's not too bad. my shrimp have been pregnant a bunch of times but finally I'm seeing little baby shrimp, I'm so happy the tank looks awesome with their plants and the shrimp are very nice quality. Couldn't keep the red plants the same colour though they all faded to green even with a bunch of light and fert.

    • Thank you and glad you are enjoying your shrimp!

    • +1

      For red plants you need light, fert and CO2. Even then there is a bit of extra care depending on the plant.

  • Is there any way to stop my goldfish from eating them?

  • Will you have java moss any time soon?

    • Likely not unfortunately, moss is in a bit of a high demand right now.

      A lot of our stock comes from the local breeders though, so it's possible we might get some anytime.

      Thanks
