The Blue Ramshorn Snail (Planorbella sp.) is a striking freshwater snail prized for its vivid blue shell and peaceful nature. Unlike pest snails, these are selectively bred for their colour and are a fantastic addition to planted aquariums.
Their unique blue shells contrast beautifully against green plants and dark substrate, adding visual interest while also serving a practical role. Ramshorns are natural algae grazers, feeding on biofilm, decaying plant matter, and leftover food, which helps maintain a clean and balanced tank.
