This often makes it difficult to distinguish from the light striped purple variety. Having an ivory or white shell base, this snail has a light body and includes brown, purple, or reddish-brown stripes. Light Striped Purple (Ivory Version)īeing the rarest among purple mystery snails, this species sports a white or ivory shell with bright to soft purple stripes, which makes it look like striped candies. The Rarest Color Types Of Mystery Snailįinally, we’ll take a look at the mystery snail varieties having the rarest colors. These snails either have a dark or light body and a purple or pink shell without any stripes. This variety comes with a light pink pigment in an inner layer of its shell that has a pink to ivory base and purple stripes. This variety is also quite attractive, having a brown-colored shell and a light body that’s enhanced with a red tinge at some places. Notably, what brings about such versatility in its color is its unique genetics. While it has a deep burgundy color on the sides, the highlighted areas have copper or yellow overtones.
Slightly similar to the striped purple snails, this snail is white-bodied, but its color changes based on the angle at which it’s held to a light source. Pink Mystery SnailĪnother beautiful species is the pink mystery snail which has a white body and reddish-pink shell. These snails have a clear shell and a dark body with reddish-brown stripes similar to the wild type. Dark Striped Purple(Blueberry)Ĭoming with a gorgeous shell that’s either pink or purple in color, this type has a dark body and black or purple stripes. Now, let’s move on to the comparatively rarer types of mystery snails. This is yet another dark-bodied variety with a greenish shell base and stripes ranging from black or brown to reddish-brown. Also, it has a dark body and neat stripes that are brownish to blackish in color. The wild type has a dark brown shell that almost seems to be black, which is why it’s often referred to as a black snail. But it can also be found in a completely white shell, too. The best thing about this type is its attractive bluish-black body, which shines through when the shell comes in a semi-transparent color. Their availability would depend on whether they’re being sold by a local breeder or company in that region. These snails are dark-bodied, while the color of their shell ranges from opaque to transparent yellow. On the other hand, their foot color can vary from yellowish to white. The semi-transparent or opaque yellow color of these snails differentiates them from the other varieties.
An ivory mystery snail can be identified by the color of its shell, which ranges from yellowish to slightly off-white to plain white. Though not completely colorless, these are often referred to as albino snails and come with traces of colors that manifest as body spots. On a side note, the color of the striped species is relatively brighter. This variety is characterized by a light-colored body with a shell having a purple or pink base and no stripes. There are lots of common color variations of mystery snails, and each of these types can add an interesting touch to an aquarium or a freshwater tank. Since there is such a wide variety of colors, it isn’t easy to describe the exact tone. Out of Water Comparison (Photo: Swamp Rat Tracks)
