Red Ramshorn Snails are a vibrant and beneficial addition to any freshwater aquarium. With their striking red shells and matching bright bodies, they bring a pop of color while serving a practical purpose. These peaceful invertebrates are excellent scavengers, feeding on leftover food, decaying plant matter, and algae, helping to keep your tank clean and balanced.
Hardy and easy to care for, Red Ramshorns thrive in a wide range of water conditions, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced aquarists. They are non-aggressive, safe with plants, and compatible with most community tanks. Given their small size and fast reproduction, they are best kept in controlled populations or with tank mates that naturally manage snail numbers.
