Black Ramshorn Snails
Ramshorn snails are air-breathing creatures that, despite their generally small size, can grow up to two and a half centimeters (one inch). Their shells exhibit a range of colors, from translucent to various shades of brown, culminating in a deep, almost black hue. Among them, the Black Ramshorn Snail stands out for its remarkable ability to eliminate algae and green scum that thrive in sunlight. This makes it an invaluable scavenger for water gardens and aquariums, effectively serving as one of nature’s finest cleaners.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
