Snail Squad Cleanup Trio – 30 Snail Value Pack (10 Red Racer, 10 Assassin, 10 Trapdoor) - Freshwater Cleanup Crew Mega Mix

Give your aquarium a boost with this hand-selected mix of 30 premium freshwater snails: 10 Red Racer Nerites, 10 Assassin Snails, and 10 Japanese Trapdoor Snails. Whether you're battling algae, managing pest snails, or just want to elevate the look of your aquascape, this combo delivers both function and flair. Great for planted and community tanks. Red Racer Nerites are true eye-catchers, known for their bold red and black striped shells—each one with its own unique pattern. Beyond their looks, these snails are incredibly efficient algae grazers, constantly scouring glass, rocks, and driftwood for buildup. They stay small, peaceful, and won’t reproduce in freshwater, so there’s zero risk of overpopulation. With their active personalities and low bioload, they’re perfect for planted tanks and nano setups alike. Assassin Snails are your tank’s natural pest control team. Recognizable by their striking yellow-and-black banded shells, they burrow into the substrate and actively hunt nuisance snails like bladder, ramshorn, and pond snails. They’re hardy, low-maintenance, and won’t bother plants or tankmates. If you’re tired of dealing with pest snail outbreaks or don’t want to resort to chemicals, assassins are a smart, self-regulating solution that blends right into your aquascape. Japanese Trapdoor Snails are the gentle workhorses of any freshwater setup. With their earthy-toned, spiraled shells and peaceful nature, they make a beautiful addition to planted tanks and ponds alike. These snails are excellent detritus feeders and soft algae grazers, helping to keep substrate clean while subtly aerating it as they move. Unlike other snails, they’re live-bearers that reproduce slowly, making them a responsible long-term addition. Cold-water tolerant and long-lived, they’re a great fit for a wide range of tank conditions.

• These three snails can coexist in the same freshwater aquarium without issue as long as you plan around their needs. Here's the key breakdown: Red Racer Nerites are peaceful and strictly herbivores. Japanese Trapdoor Snails are also peaceful, non-aggressive, and occupy similar spaces. Assassin Snails, however, are carnivorous and will eat small, soft-bodied pest snails. But—they typically do not go after armored snails like Nerites or Trapdoors, especially if they’re the same size or larger, and well-fed.
• 📏IMPORTANT TANK COMPATIBILITY: Don’t use this mix in nano tanks under 10 gallons. Give them space—20 gallons or larger is ideal to reduce crowding and territorial behavior, especially among Assassins.
• 72–76°F (22–24°C) is the safest overlapping range where all three species thrive.
• Bonus Compatibility Notes: pH: Aim for neutral to slightly alkaline (7.0–8.0) Water hardness: All three need moderately hard water for shell health Tank mates: Avoid aggressive fish (like puffers or loaches) that nip or eat snails Substrate: Fine gravel or sand helps Assassins and Trapdoors burrow naturally Lid recommended: Nerites (especially Red Racers) are known escape artists
