The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Invertebrate

Stoffel’s Ramshorn Snails (Planorbella duryi) are more than just a feeder; they are a vital component of a balanced aquatic ecosystem. Whether you are looking to provide a natural hunting experience for your predatory fish or seeking a tireless worker to scrub algae off your glass and plants, these snails deliver.

Why Choose Stoffels 180ml Feeders?

Our 180ml portions are packed with healthy, active snails. Unlike bulk shipments that can arrive stressed, our controlled volume ensures optimal oxygen levels and minimal waste buildup during transit, arriving at your door ready to work.

Key Benefits for the Beginner Aquarist

• Algae Control: They specialize in consuming soft green algae and biofilm, keeping your tank surfaces clear without harming most live plants.

• Waste Management: As detritivores, they eat leftover fish food and decaying organic matter, preventing ammonia spikes.

• Live Food Source: For owners of Pea Puffers or Botia Loaches, these snails provide essential calcium and protein while encouraging natural foraging behavior.

• Bio-Indicator: Their behavior can actually help you monitor your tank. If they all rush to the waterline, it’s a friendly hint that your oxygen levels might be low or your CO2 is too high!

Acclimation & Care Tips

1. Float the Container: Place the sealed 90ml container in your tank for 15–20 minutes to equalize the temperature.

2. Gentle Release: Use a small net to scoop the snails out or gently pour them into a designated feeding area.

3. Calcium is Key: To keep their shells bright red and strong, ensure your water isn’t too soft. Adding a piece of cuttlebone or feeding calcium-rich pellets is highly recommended.

Pro Tip: Ramshorn snails are prolific breeders. If you find their population growing too fast, simply reduce the amount of excess fish food entering the tank!
