Bladder Snails / Tadpole Snails (Physella acuta) Pack of 6

Physella acuta, commonly known as Bladder Snails or Tadpole Snails, are native UK freshwater snails that make an outstanding addition to any aquarium.

These hardy little creatures are remarkably easy to keep and thrive across a wide range of water conditions, from cold water through to temperate and tropical freshwater environments.

Typically measuring 1–2 cm in size, they are perfectly suited to tanks of all sizes.

As a natural clean-up crew, they eagerly feast on algae and decaying plant matter, whilst leaving healthy live plants completely untouched. This makes them an ideal, low-maintenance solution for keeping your tank and plants sparkling clean.

Snails play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems, helping to maintain a healthy balance within your aquarium.

They reproduce readily, ensuring a sustainable population over time. Each pack contains 6 snails, giving you an excellent starting colony to get your clean-up crew established straight away.

Whether you are setting up a new tank or looking to improve the health of an existing one, these native UK snails are a fantastic and practical choice for any freshwater aquarium enthusiast.
