Magenta Mystery Snail (Medium) (Pomacea diffusa)

Add a vibrant splash of color to your freshwater aquarium with the Magenta Mystery Snail (Pomacea diffusa). Showcasing a stunning shell with rich magenta and rosy-purple hues, this eye-catching freshwater invertebrate is both a beautiful ornamental addition and a hardworking member of your aquarium's clean-up crew.

Our Medium-size Magenta Mystery Snails are healthy, active, and approximately 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3.2 cm) in shell diameter, about the size of a large grape. At this size, they are well established, adapt quickly to new aquariums, and still have plenty of growing to do.

Magenta Mystery Snails spend their day grazing on algae, biofilm, and leftover food, helping maintain a cleaner aquarium while adding constant movement and visual interest to your aquascape. Their peaceful nature makes them an excellent choice for community aquariums, where they coexist beautifully with tropical fish, shrimp, and other non-aggressive invertebrates.

To support healthy shell development and vibrant coloration, provide clean, stable water with adequate calcium and a balanced diet that includes algae wafers, sinking pellets, blanched vegetables, and other quality invertebrate foods.

Whether you're creating a colorful planted aquarium or adding a unique focal point to your freshwater community, the Magenta Mystery Snail offers striking beauty, fascinating behavior, and easy care that hobbyists of every experience level will enjoy.
