Snail Bales (Coming Dec. 2025)

 - Coming December 2025 - 

Superb feed for all types of aquatic snails including freshwater and saltwater species.  With high levels of calcium and minerals from natural algaes, kelp, and veggies, this feed is designed to keep aquatic invertebrates strong and thriving.  In addition to snails, many other aquatic invertebrates like crabs, shrimp, and crayfish will benefit from a high calcium and mineral content food source. Crafted by hand in small batches in Scottsdale Arizona by our happy team of aquatic enthusiasts.

Use as a supplemental feed for aquatic invertebrates to provide calcium and minerals. Use as a staple feed when breeding snails, or in very clean aquariums that lack ample natural algae.

Freshwater:

Mystery Snail (Pomacea bridgesii)
 Colorful and active, these large snails are great algae grazers and scavengers. In algae-free or low-waste tanks, they often don’t find enough food on their own. They thrive with supplemental feeding like blanched vegetables, algae wafers, or calcium-rich snail food.

Rabbit Snail (Tylomelania sp.)
 Large, slow-moving snails with long shells and distinct faces. They prefer soft veggies and protein foods but are poor algae grazers. They need direct feeding with sinking pellets, blanched spinach, or algae wafers to avoid starvation.

Nerite Snail (Freshwater Variety)
Popular for algae control, they clean glass, plants, and rocks. However, they only eat algae and biofilm, not leftover food. In clean tanks with low algae, they need extra food like spirulina wafers or powdered algae to survive.

Japanese Trapdoor Snail (Viviparus malleattus)
 Cold-water tolerant and live-bearing, these snails clean substrate and graze on biofilm. In low-nutrient setups, they often need supplemental feeding with veggies, algae pellets, or spirulina.

Bladder Snail (Physella acuta)
 Tiny and fast-breeding, they eat detritus and leftover food. In heavily cleaned tanks or low-stock setups, their natural food may be limited. While often self-sufficient, their populations stay healthier with some supplemental feeding.

Ramshorn Snail (Planorbidae family)
 Common and colorful (red, blue, brown). They graze algae and scavenge uneaten food but will benefit from added calcium (for shell health) and food like veggie wafers, fish flakes, or soft greens in minimalist tanks.

Assassin Snail (Clea helena)
 Carnivorous snails used to control pest snail populations. If snail prey becomes scarce, they will go hungry unless offered protein-rich sinking pellets or meaty frozen foods (like bloodworms or shrimp).

Malaysian Trumpet Snail (Melanoides tuberculata)
 Nocturnal burrowers that keep sand stirred and eat detritus. They're usually self-sustaining but in sterile or heavily vacuumed tanks, they may benefit from the occasional feeding of sinking pellets or powdered foods.

Spixi Snail (Asolene spixi)
 Uncommon but increasingly popular. They look similar to mystery snails but stay smaller and are more plant-friendly. They eat algae and soft plant material but do best with added foods like algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and fish food.

Saltwater:

Astrea Snail
 A popular algae grazer with a cone-shaped shell. Great for cleaning glass and rocks, but they can starve in tanks without enough algae. They don't eat detritus or leftover food, so supplemental feeding with algae wafers or seaweed is often needed.

Trochus Snail
 Hardy and reef-safe, with excellent algae-eating habits. Unlike Astreas, they can right themselves if flipped over. If algae growth is low, they may need nori sheets, spirulina flakes, or veggie wafers to thrive.

Nassarius Snail
 Burrowing scavengers that clean the sand bed and eat leftover meaty foods. They don't eat algae, so in ultra-clean tanks or tanks with low fish feeding, they may need supplemental protein like sinking pellets or meaty frozen foods.

Cerith Snail
 Small, active sand sifters that also clean rocks and glass. They feed on detritus and algae, but in well-maintained or newer tanks, they often need help with algae wafers or blanched vegetables.

Bumblebee Snail
 Tiny striped snails that prefer meaty foods, detritus, and tiny worms. They don’t eat algae, so if the tank is too clean or there's no natural food in the sand, they'll benefit from protein-rich pellets or frozen mysis.

Mexican Turbo Snail
 Large and powerful algae eaters. They'll mow down algae fast and may run out of food quickly in a clean tank. Supplement with seaweed clips or algae-based wafers to prevent starvation.

Margarita Snail
 Cool-water snails often sold for tropical tanks (not ideal long-term). Eat algae, but are sensitive and may starve without enough natural biofilm. Offer nori or spirulina if algae is scarce.

Fighting Conch
 Larger sand-cleaning snails that eat detritus and algae. In low-bio-load tanks, they may not find enough food in the substrate and will need direct feeding with sinking wafers or veggie tablets.

Nerite Snail (Saltwater Variety)
 Like their freshwater cousins, they clean glass and rock surfaces. Algae-dependent, so they’ll need supplemental spirulina or seaweed in minimal-algae tanks.
