Chestnut Mystery Snails are attractive freshwater snails known for their warm chestnut-brown shells and gentle, peaceful nature. Common names: Chestnut Mystery Snail, Chestnut Apple Snail, Mystery Snail Scientific name: Pomacea bridgesii Approximate size: Up to 5–6 cm (2–2.4 in) shell diameter Temperament: Peaceful freshwater snail Recommended tank size: 20 L (5 US gal) or larger Diet: Omnivorous; algae, biofilm, decaying plant matter, sinking foods, and vegetables. Calcium-rich foods help support healthy shell growth. Origin: South America, particularly the Amazon Basin; Chestnut Mystery Snails are a selectively bred color variety. Basic care information: Keep in clean, stable freshwater around 20–28°C (68–82°F). Provide adequate calcium and avoid very soft or acidic water, which can damage the shell. Mystery snails are generally peaceful and suitable for community aquariums. They can climb above the waterline, so leave some space above the water and use a secure lid. Males and females are separate, and both are required for reproduction.
