Pagoda Snail (Brotia pagodula) is a peaceful sculpted-shell freshwater snail for mature tropical aquariums with oxygenated, mineral-rich water. It grazes biofilm and needs stable hard water for shell health.
Adult size is the maximum length this species reaches at full maturity (scientific sources). The livestock you receive will be younger and smaller — pick a size variant above for the actual shipping size. Photos are AI-enhanced, so the animal may show subtle colour or marking differences.

Pagoda Snail (Brotia pagodula) is a peaceful freshwater river snail with a sculpted, pagoda-like shell. It is best for mature tropical aquariums with oxygenated flow, mineral-rich water and steady grazing surfaces rather than soft, acidic or newly set up tanks.
This snail is useful and ornamental, but it should not be sold as a quick algae cure. Long-term success comes from hard water, calcium availability, gentle current and regular supplemental feeding.

Use a mature aquarium with stable water, a sand or smooth gravel area, rock or wood for grazing, and enough flow to keep oxygen levels high. Avoid snail-eating puffers and loaches. Keep shell health in mind: soft, acidic water can erode the shell over time.
Compare with Giant Tower Cap Snail, Black Antenna Rabbit Snail, Orange Rabbit Snail, Cappuccino Spike Snail and Malaysian Trumpet Snail if you are planning a peaceful invertebrate display.
