MALAYSIAN TRUMPET SNAILS
Natural Substrate Team
Malaysian Trumpet Snails are powerful little helpers that stir your substrate, prevent gas pockets, and clean up leftover food while staying peaceful and plant-safe.

- Hardy & Resilient: Tolerant of a wide range of freshwater conditions, ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
- Non-Aggressive & Safe: Peaceful inhabitants that coexist well with fish, shrimp, and other inverts without damaging plants.
