Both apple snails and mystery snails are generally peaceful creatures. However, a few differences in their behaviour are worth noting. Apple snails are often more active and outgoing than mystery snails. They may climb to the water's surface to take in air and enjoy exploring their surroundings. Mystery snails, on the other hand, are more sedentary. They tend to stick to the bottom of the tank and are less likely to venture out of their shell. Additionally, apple snails are known for their "clutching" behaviour, laying eggs above the waterline. Mystery snails, on the other hand, lay their eggs underwater.
Blue Mystery Snails, are a popular choice for aquariums (easily our favourite snail) due to their bright blue shells and peaceful demeanor. These snails are active and hardy, making them a great choice for beginner aquarists. Blue Mystery Snails prefer a temperature range of 21-27° c  and a pH between 7.0-8.0, and require a high level of dissolved oxygen, which can be achieved through proper aeration in the tank. These snails are very easy to control the population of, as they produce eggs above the waterline.
