The Pink Ramshorn Snail (Planorbella duryi) is a beautiful freshwater snail prized for its delicate pink shell and peaceful temperament. Unlike common pest snails, these are selectively bred for their colour and make a unique addition to planted aquariums.
Their translucent shells and naturally red bodies create a shimmering pink appearance that contrasts beautifully against green plants and dark substrates. Like all ramshorns, they are excellent algae grazers, feeding on biofilm, decaying plant matter, and leftover food — helping to keep your aquarium clean and balanced.
