🐌 White Wizard Snail (Filopaludina martensi var. White)
Algae & Detritus Control • Peaceful Scavenger • Livebearing Snail
 
📋 The White Wizard Snail is an elegant freshwater snail, best known for its ivory-white spiral shell that creates a stunning contrast in planted aquariums. Unlike many dark-shelled snails, it provides a unique decorative accent while performing a useful role.
It is a peaceful scavenger, consuming algae, detritus, and uneaten food. White Wizard Snails are safe for planted tanks, as they do not damage healthy plants. Their livebearing reproduction means fewer offspring compared to egg-laying snails, making them easier to manage.
Hardy and adaptable, they thrive in community tanks with other peaceful species. Their ability to provide algae and detritus control makes them both functional and ornamental in freshwater aquariums.
