Much smaller than the standard colorful Ramshorn snail we are all familiar with, these mini flat rams carry their flattened spiral shell flat against their bodies. It's very unique!
Similarly to other commonly found aquarium snails such as Ramshorns, Malaysian Trumpets, and Bladders, these Mini Rams WILL reproduce in a overstocked aquarium or where there is abundant algae or food present. Balanced aquariums will have no issue with overpopulation, and may even lose numbers. If this is happening to you, be sure to supplement with a bit of blanched vegetable, fish food, or algae wafer.
These little guys play such an important role in a balanced aquarium! They are nature's recyclers, and work tirelessly to scrub detritus, algae and fish poo from your tank.
Peaceful and easy- going, these snails do not eat live plants, but you may see them resting on green foliage in order to scrub away any algae or biofilms on the surface.
These guys are undemanding, but would prefer a planted, community tank within normal parameters. They do like a bit of cuttlebone here and there to keep their shells hard and clear, and will grow to about a quarter of an inch. Very tiny!
The snails you receive will be a mix of sizes and tones, most under an eighth of an inch!

they all arrived alive! i’ve had them for a few weeks now. when they first came in, they are so much smaller than i thought they’d be but they have grown a bit more. they tend to hide more than the other snails i have so i don’t see them as often but they’re exactly what i wanted. i think i may want to purchase some more some time soon! thank you!
