Biomphalaria glabrata — Blue Apple Snail

The Blue Apple Snail (Biomphalaria glabrata) is a ramshorn-type planorbid snail that can display a striking blue-tinted shell through selective breeding, making it a visually appealing addition to freshwater tanks. It is a voracious grazer of soft algae and decaying plant matter, helping keep glass and decorations clean, though it may nibble on tender-leafed aquatic plants. This species reproduces readily in freshwater aquariums and populations are easily managed by controlling food availability.
