The Black Devil Snail is a large, dark freshwater snail with a smooth, elongated shell that gives it a striking, almost “armoured” appearance. It is a hardy scavenger that feeds on algae, detritus, and leftover food. Completely peaceful and slow-moving, it prefers stable water conditions and grows to about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm). It can be kept in both fresh and brackish water.
