## Description

Japanese Trapdoor Snails would make a great addition to large fish tanks or outdoor ponds in your home garden. They are a peaceful snail that is great at knocking back and managing pesky algae growth. They get their name for their hard operculum, or "trapdoor" that protects their body when retracted. They are compatible with most fish, plants, and other inverts due to their size and peaceful demeanor.  Trapdoor snails are also livebearing snails, which means they reproduce at a fairly rapid rate. You will likely even see babies in the bag when you receive your order! Trapdoor snails are highly flexible in their water conditions and are capable of surviving freezeovers, making them perfect for your outdoor ponds all year around! Also included in this package is 1lb of Hornwort, which is a floating plant perfect for ponds. It grows rapidly which means it's sucking up all the excess nutrients in the water, keeping it clean and clear! DOA POLICY -PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE PURCHASING: If you encounter any issues with the animals upon arrival, please email us with photos and/or video of the issue and a brief explanation (what animals are having difficulty, what the symptoms are, and any other information you may deem noteworthy). In the case of partial DOA, please count the LIVING animals before you email us. In certain cases, we send extras (i.e. Neocaridina shrimp) - so even if you have 1 or 2 DOA, you will often still receive what you paid for. *****This email needs to be received within 2 hours of delivery according to the shipper's tracking information.***** If these terms are met, we will either issue a refund or send replacements. Whether you receive a refund or replacements will be dependent on a number of factors, and decisions will be made BY US on a case by case basis. In some cases, it is not feasible to send replacements (i.e. if the value of the dead animals is less than the cost of shipping).

## Features

- Japanese Trapdoor Snails (Viviparus malleattus) will help keep algae in check and will reproduce quickly     Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demursum) is a fast growing, low maintenance, low light plant that will help increase water quality while giving fish shade and possibly places to reproduce.     Hornwort is a naturally floating plant and should be anchored if there is a fast moving current for overflows or filters     We recommend this package to ponds up to 3,000 gallons     The only thing we'd recommend adding would be mosquitofish

    As advertised
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021*

1 lb of hornwort is quite a bit.  All green.  Looks healthy after 2 days.10 snails of variable size.  Took a while for some to wake up but all 10 confirmed alive after 2 days.Delivered inside a styrofoam box so pretty well insulated.Package took 45 hours to arrive from Florida to the Southwest.I would purchase this again if needed.Update:  It's been 3 weeks.  All 10 snails are happy eating algae and the Hornwort looks healthy.Update:  4 weeks in and couldn't be happier.  Attaching 3 new photos.  The snails are having sex and producing babies...  Already counted 9 babies.  The Hornwort has covered the majority of the 110 gallon tank.

    healthy plants and snails. pleased with purchase
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016*

Hornwort was packaged in a manner that kept it most & cool. Good amount and seems healthy. Snails actually had prettier coloring than expected. Several of them had a nice light 'seafoam-ish' green colors on the tips of the shells, should make them a little easier to spot against the black liner. Snails were a bit smaller than I had hoped they would be, but seem healthy considering they were just shipped cross the country via snail mail (haha pun intended). I placed them in the pond then went back out a few minutes later to get a photo for the review and the one I picked up was already sucking on the bottom of the pond.Just put everyone in the pond, will try to remember to update later as to whether algae/clarity conditions improve or worsen.

    Arrived black and slimy
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021*

Plant arrived black and slimey. Very disappointed-- nothing like picture. Tried to revive in pond and it sunk and disintegrated. I applied for a refund and was approved; however, the seller expects me to return the plantand I am not sure how to do that given condition. Will update rating if seller communicates and refunds or replaces.
