SCAVENGERS ... for the Aquarium and Pool 
Be sure you have some of these scavengers in your aquarium. Snails are always inter- 
esting to watch and are of real value because they help to keep the aquarium clean. Snails 
consume much of the excess food and debris from decaying plant leaves; they also feed on 
Algae. Like any other scavenger, they cannot be expected to keep the water clear or to 
remove all the debris that accumulates on the bottom. Snails do not attack live fish, but they 
do provide an additional service in that they feed on the carcass of dead fish which prevents 
the dead fish from ‘‘souring’’ the aquarium water. 
MYSTERY SNAILS (Ampullaris Cuprina)—This four-horned snail derives its name from the 
mysterious fashion in which it lays eggs outside the water in which they live. 200 to 300 
eggs are deposited on the surface above the water line. A very useful as well as interesting 
scavenger; a good infusoria producer. MEDIUM SIZE 2 for 25c — 12 for $1.00. LARGE BREED- 
ERS—75e per pair. 
MYSTERY SNAIL EGGS—Easy to hatch, snail eggs are shipped to you complete with direc- 
tions, 200 to 300 eggs in nest. PRICE $1.00. 
JAPANESE SNAILS (Viviparis Mallaetus) ‘Trap Door Snail'’—this live bearing snail originally 
from Japan is well suited to cold water tanks and outdoor pools. Hardy and prolific these 
snails make excellent scavengers. EXTRA LARGE 50c pair. ASSORTED SIZES 25c¢ pair—

shaped. This tiny snail is a worthwhile addition to any tank, they burrow in the gravel and 
consume food and refuse below the surface. Very prolific breeders. 4 for 25e—50c dozen. 
FRESH WATER MUSSELS—These fresh water clams are useful in aquariums to filter green 
algae and cloudiness from the aquarium. They remain half buried in the gravel and filter the 
water through themselves feeding on any suspended matter that may be present in the water.
