They'll even attack hair algae!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo attractive and striking in the planted tank, these are completely peaceful little creatures, and will quickly clean up any waste left over by other inhabitants. They are shrimp safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuriously, Mystery snails regularly make trips outside the water, using a 'Siphon' of sorts. Be sure to keep your water line a few inches from the edge of your tank to allow them to roam!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLooking for a different color?

Be sure to remove within the day, as you won't want to foul up your water! They will also happily accept little algae wafers (the kind advertised for bottom feeders such as Plecos)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnder 40F where you are?
