Behaviour
Blue Mystery Snail is generally peaceful. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.
Tankmates
Pair with similarly sized peaceful tankmates in invertebrates. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
Breeding
Breeding notes for Blue Mystery Snail vary by line and water chemistry — ask your local shop about proven pairs in SA.
Keeping invertebrates?
