Freshwater Invertebrates: Shrimp & Snails
Freshwater Inverts at Petco
Step into Petco's aquatic realm and be captivated by our diverse assortment of freshwater inverts, a must-have for every home aquarium. The two main freshwater invertebrates we have at Petco are shrimp and snails. Both of these animals are important components of your freshwater aquarium’s ecosystem, because they eat common types of algae, animal matter, and excess fish food. In other words, freshwater shrimp and snails are great for helping to keep your tank clean!
Frequently Asked Questions about Freshwater Invertebrates
Freshwater aquarium shrimp require daily feedings, but they typically get their food from algae or excess debris and fish food.
Just like any living creature in your aquarium, snails require regular feeding, a well maintained tank, and absence of predators.
Before shrimp are added to your new freshwater aquarium, a filter and heater should already be installed. Shrimp require a stable water quality and a temperature between 72 to 82°F.
That depends on the size of your tank. Freshwater shrimp will become stressed if they’re overcrowded and unable to move freely.
Their well-balanced diet typically consists of algae and fish or food debris. If there isn’t enough natural algae buildup, you can feed them algae discs.

I want to get an apple snail or a mystery snail. I have an indoor storage container pond where I will be putting one or two goldfish in. It doesn't have a top, so can the snails crawl out? If they can, how can I avoid it? Also someone told me to quarantine it, how do i do that?
Only a week ago I transferred my two red eared sliders to a preformed pond enclosure, cleaned the filter, added common goldfish from the pet store to the water -- Not adding the water they came in into the pond obviously. I noticed both had a dull white smudge/blotch on their plastron and tiny white hard bumps on their carapace, and I can't manage to pick them off. No dents or bad smells, clear eyes, clean water. Same diet besides one night of goldfish binging. Could they be calcium deposits?
Wat should I feed my soft shell turtle???
Hi, I’m having a problem with a tiny white bug infestation in my amphibians tanks, they arrived in damp substrate that came with a frog and now I can’t get rid of them. They are the same size as a spring tail but slow moving and round, maybe a mite? Any advice on how to get rid of them greatly appreciated as they keep coming back especially around damp areas
We’ve recently bought a pet snail and I’m wondering if we should put calcium rich sand on the bottom of the tank we have some made for hermit crabs and I feel as though he shouldn’t be submerged in water all the time so should I put some down or is he fine? I’m unsure of what type of snail he is but the person at the shop said he was a cold water snail I think
My pet red eared slider Snappy is always sleeping and doesn't eat it's food pellets that I gave him. He runs towards the dry area when I put him in the water and he floats. I have seen some very small worms when I put him in the water.
How many snails can I have in a 55 gallon fish tank?
