    I had a blue mystery snail for about a year and a half. She passed yesterday. She was a joy and always made me smile with her little tentacles, or when she’d parachute down from the top of the tank and bonk my goldfish in the face. Hope she’s eating broccoli in the snail afterlife :)

    Got a few 2inches mysteries on my local pond last week. Put them in my 50G pond with my shrimps & mollies. Love the way they 'inflate' themselves. They'll go near to the surface, got their long trunk out to the tip of the surface & in a couple of seconds they're floating.. drifting till they reach to my salvinia & gobbled 2 leaves..

I dont want a bunch of them, so I cut most of the eggs off, left about 12, and I can see 5 on the glass, no telling how many in the rocks. So tiny, and I cant wait for them to grow up.

    Parasnailing! I love it! That is one of the things that makes these guys so much fun to keep. I have extremely hard well water, which is not good for many fish, but the snails love it and do a great job keeping the hard water deposits at bay! I also keep nerites , for worker bees they are the best. I wanted to share how my snails learned to play. I had a hang on the back filter and a floating thermometer and the mystery snail would manage to climb onto the thermometer and float under the filter and take rides! It would do it over and over and was really funny. I had one nerite that learned to do this too. Hopefully some of my new ones will learn to do this too! This behavior is when I realized brain or no brain they are intelligent little guys.

    I am Brazilian and I was very pleased to know that they are native from Brazil, since we have such a very restricted regulation about which kind of animals we can keep here as pets. Also I was super happy about the different colour options they have, because I just knew the golden one I was planning on putting them with my axolotls and know I am setting an aquarium just for them, so I started reading and searching about them as a crazy person and I am super happy know that I have bought quite a few, haha.
    I loved your videos and I have already subscribed to see and get to know more about them with you!
    It's just a pitty that their lives are so short and that we seem to don't have any black and albino variation here in the Brazilian marked :(

    Excellent video, in all the years I’ve been on UA-cam I’ve never said that to anyone. This was a very informative video for me. I bought two mystery snails about 10 days ago for my 10 gallon. After watching them and enjoying how they move around the tank, I just had to buy 4 more for my 20 gallon. I never knew watching snails could be so entertaining and calming at the same time. I have them in with Rasboras and skunk corydoras.
    I’ve been all over the Internet trying to figure out how to take care of them properly and make sure that the conditions are right for them. This video helped me with all of my questions so thank you so much. I’ve subscribed and will continue to watch, learn And maybe ask the occasional question 😊

And I have been doing research on them lately. To get enough of what it needs I'm still collecting what it needs but almost there! But I have plenty of what I'm needing so far! Besides food for it and drift wood! Which I can get the drift wood next month easy! And the food is easy to get.

    This was awesome. I enjoyed this so much. I'm a new-be when it comes to mystery snails. I had 2 beautiful golden apple snails about 20 years ago. I adored them. I got so excited when I found a large cluster of eggs on a rock off to the side of the outdoor rock waterfall and pond they were in. All was well and good and I was extremely excited about the prospect of having more golden apple snails for my pond, until I was awakened in the middle of the night to a lot of noise in the backyard. It was a family of raccoons. They destroyed everything. They shredded the water plants trying to get the fish and they ate not only the golden apple snails but the eggs as well. So, this time around I'm going to go with using an aquarium. Your video was super informative and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.

I have changed their environment a few times to help their conditions like moving them from a 75 gallon to the 9 gallon.

    Based on my experience with my mystery snails (Pomacea bridgesii), and the experience of many other people who have the same species, they most definitely will munch on live, healthy plants. One of mine snacks on giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) and another of mine will eat healthy leaves off of moneywort. I caught the one who was eating the moneywort, also try to nibble on a green cabomba plant, then swiftly retract his snorfer in disgust. It definitely doesn't happen frequently, that mystery snails snack on live, healthy plants, but it does happen occasionally.

    Thank you so much for making this very helpful video. I got a couple of jade & gold mystery snails today and am very excited to look after them properly! I had done a bit of research prior to getting them but I wish I had watched your video first! #fingerscrossed

    I seen my snails super long trunk breathing like a snorkel yesterday and it tripped me out. It exhaled a breath and then cannonballed off the glass down to the substrate.... It's a very interesting, unfamiliar creature.... I just noticed that it likes to eat my sinking loach pellets and Ive seen it eating some blanched kale that I offered. Interesting little bugger, I hope it's copacetic in my tank. The snail didnt move for the first few days when I put it in, but it cruises around and rather quickly too these days. Do these guys like friends?

      Ah yes, Parasnailing is so much fun to see! I believe they DO like friends. They seem to act a bit more lively with a buddy and i personally think they enjoy having a snail friend with them. I have actually heard numerous accounts, and have personally seen it as well, of Mysteries finding "soulmates" in fellow snails. Virtually inseparable! Every time i have witnessed a bonding between two snails they almost always leave this world around the same time. From a broken heart it always seems. which tugs at my heart so much! But yes, in my opinion they do really enjoy the company of other mysteries.
