Shell & Fin Aquatics

THE HOME OF LIGHTFOOT GENETICS

Sick of your local store being out of stock again? Stop settling for just Gold or Tortoiseshell.

From designer breakthroughs like our Sunrise and Sky Blue to a consistent supply of favorites like Ivory, Blue, Purple, and Magenta, we are the only one-stop studio that breeds and stocks every color in the hobby.

We breed them, we stock them, and we have them all in one place—all year round.

AN AUSTRALIAN FIRST

Our Signature Lines

The Royal Line

The Royal Line. The studio standard for saturation. Deep Magentas and velvety Purples with a high-gloss finish, bred for shell strength and regal presence.

The Sunset Line

An Australian First. Features our exclusive First-Generation Sunrise and Sunset shells. Bred for a living glow and saturated 'designer' patterns you won't find anywhere else.

The Sky Collection

The Sky Blue Debut. Home of Australia's first Light-Foot Blue. We pair seamless azure shells with a luminous foot color for a clean, ethereal studio look.

BEYOND THE BASICS: A SPECIALIZED STUDIO

Tired of local shops always being out of stock or only carrying common wild types? Shell & Fin Aquatics was established to fill that gap in the Australian hobby, providing a consistent, year-round supplier of the most sought-after designer snail strains.

We aren’t a high-volume warehouse; we are a specialized boutique studio focusing exclusively on high-end aesthetics and superior shell integrity.

By keeping our production intentional, we invest the time and premium nutrition into our lines that mass-market breeders simply can’t match.
