Orange Ramshorn Snail (Planorbella duryi var. “Orange”)

Orange Ramshorn Snail (Planorbella duryi var. “Orange”) is a peaceful, hardy snail that brings a bright splash of colour to freshwater aquariums. With its vivid orange body and spiral “ram’s horn” shell, it’s a great addition to planted tanks, shrimp setups and community aquariums.

Basic care & water parameters:

• Size: up to 2–2.5 cm

• Temperature: 20–28°C

• pH: 7.0–8.0

• GH: 6–18 dGH

• KH: 3–12 dKH

Orange Ramshorns are excellent cleaners, eating soft algae, decaying plant matter and leftover fish food. They do best in a stable, well-oxygenated tank with hard enough water to maintain a healthy shell. They can reproduce quickly if there is a lot of excess food, so avoid overfeeding. Calm, attractive and easy to care for, they’re ideal for beginners and experienced keepers.
