Overview
The Striped Wizard Snail is an attractive freshwater snail known for its tall, spiraled shell adorned with distinct vertical striping. Peaceful, hardy, and excellent for algae control, it makes a functional and decorative addition to community aquariums.
OriginLikely native to Southeast Asia, commonly found in slow-moving rivers, ponds, and marshes with soft substrates and abundant plant life.
FeedingPrimarily herbivorous. Consumes soft algae, biofilm, and decaying plant matter. Supplement with algae wafers, blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach), and sinking pellets when natural foods are limited.
Tank MatesVery peaceful. Ideal for community tanks with small fish, shrimp, and other non-predatory species. Avoid loaches, large cichlids, pufferfish, and other snail-eating species.
AggressionNone. Completely peaceful; does not harm plants or tank mates.
Experience LevelBeginner-friendly. Easy to care for and adaptable to a wide range of freshwater aquarium conditions.

- pH: 7.0 – 8.2 (prefers alkaline to maintain shell health)
