Received the Black Devil Snails and they’ve been thriving in my 10-gallon planted tank. Their black spiral shells stand out and they actively clean up food scraps and algae. No issues with my fish or shrimp. Easy to maintain and a great addition to the community.

The snails arrived healthy and have been active since setup. They don’t seem to harm any plants or fish. I noticed a reduction in detritus over the past two weeks. A quiet and effective cleaner.
