    Very pretty, I saw the purple one too. Looks like some mystery snails. I wonder if they are plant safe.

    Have the snails eaten your plants?
    I've read on websites that the true mystery snails will not touch healthy plants.

    They crap a lot so be careful might spike your bioload once they get bigger... apple snails can be quite destructive...
