You will receive 5 snails, about 2-5mm long. They will grow to about twice that.
These snails are excellent algae cleaners and an essential part of any pond or aquarium's balanced ecosystem. They're also quite mesmerising to watch!
They are themselves food for larger fish but will multiply readily given the chance.
Tadpole Bladder Snails are tolerant of a wide range of fresh water pond and tank conditions, comfortable up to about 25 degrees and will probably survive higher.
Others find them beneficial and do not mind having them in the tanks or breed them for feeding pufferfish, predatory snails, crabs or crayfish.
Bladder snails are omnivorous. They will eat algae, diatoms, dead and decaying organic matter (meat, insects, vegetables or plants), leftover fish or shrimp food (pellets, flakes, algae wafers, etc), debris, and waste.
They are ultimate cleaners for the fish or shrimp aquariums who eat on a continual basis. Actually, Bladder snails are so good at it, that any overfeeding will trigger snail infestation.
They are like an indicator of the food balance in your tank.
