  • Clear sale-size and sale-unit information for purchase planning

What will you receive?

You will receive a lot of 40 live pond snails per quantity ordered.

Acclimation & Introduction

Prepare the invertebrate aquarium before arrival and follow current NTA livestock acclimation guidance. Reduce lighting, avoid sudden changes in temperature or mineral content, keep transport water out of the display where practical, and observe movement and condition after introduction.

Ongoing Care

Provide suitable vegetable and invertebrate foods without allowing uneaten food to foul the water.

Maintain stable water with regular testing and appropriately sized water changes. Review the setup as the animals grow, moult, reproduce or change their social behaviour.

Pairs perfectly with

  • A mature aquarium prepared for the exact invertebrate
  • Reliable water tests and an invertebrate-safe maintenance routine
  • Species-appropriate food, cover and protected filtration
NTA Insight:
Keep feeder cultures separate and well maintained. The quality of a live-food culture depends on its water and diet, not only the number of animals.

Before You Buy

Confirm adult size, water requirements, diet and compatibility for Pond Snails before ordering. The listed sale size describes current stock, not its permanent size.

Many aquarium invertebrates are sensitive to copper and abrupt water changes. Check every medication, fertiliser and tank mate before use or introduction.

FAQ

Are all 40 snails guaranteed to be one species?
No single species is stated in the listing. Treat this as a mixed pond-snail lot unless NTA confirms otherwise.

Will the supplied Pond Snails match the photograph exactly?
No. Livestock photographs represent the species or variety; colour, markings, size and maturity naturally vary.

Is the listed size the adult size?
No. It is an approximate sale size where stated. Confirm adult requirements before purchase.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Why do livestock prices sometimes change?

    Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.

    Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.

    We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
