The Royal Line

Defining the Jewel Tones

The Royal Line is curated for those who value depth and drama. This collection features our most saturated pigments: the velvet-rich Purples and vibrant Magentas. Whether paired with a dark or light foot, these specimens are bred for high-contrast beauty and a deep, matte finish that brings a sophisticated presence to the modern aquarium.

The collection breakdown

• Magenta Mystery Snails: Our most vibrant offering, featuring a rich, pink-toned shell that adds a burst of "electric" color to your tank.

• Purple Mystery Snails: A deep, regal classic with a grape-colored shell and high-gloss integrity. These represent the pinnacle of our dark-pigment breeding program.

• Standard Blue (Dark-Foot): The traditional, timeless Blue known to the hobby. These specimens feature a deep, moody blue shell carried by a saturated dark foot, offering a grounded and classic aesthetic.
  
  

Care Standards & Parameters

• pH Range (7.6 – 8.0): We recommend maintaining this alkaline range to protect the porcelain finish from acidic erosion. Rapidly adjusting pH can stress aquatic life; always monitor stability over several days when making changes.

• GH Baseline (8 – 15): A stable General Hardness (GH) provides the mineral foundation necessary for healthy physiological function. Establishing this baseline is a prerequisite before fine-tuning specific calcium concentrations.

• Calcium Levels (100 – 150 ppm): For elite shell development, we target these concentrations. Community Tank Note: Always verify the specific tolerance levels of other tank inhabitants, as some species may require lower mineral concentrations than these specialized snails.

• Nutritional Balance: While water parameters protect the shell's exterior, snails must ingest calcium to fuel internal growth. We recommend a varied diet rich in protein and calcium-heavy supplements to prevent thin or brittle shell development.

• Acclimation & Stability: Our stock is raised in stable Australian aquarium conditions . To ensure a safe transition, all specimens must be slowly drip-acclimatized to your specific water parameters. Shell & Fin Aquatics is not responsible for losses due to improper acclimation or incompatible home water chemistry.

*Shipping Note: We ship livestock to VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, and ACT only. Due to biosecurity laws, we cannot ship live snails to WA, NT, or TAS.
