Coco Snails

Why are Coco Snails like the other instant pets we offer?

Coco Snails love to hibernate when the salty pools they inhabit begin to dry up. In fact they are happy to stay asleep for several months with out water just waiting for the day the highest of high tide’s finally fill their pools! Because of this, Coco Snails can be shipped literally anywhere in the world as they are a bit like a seed or plant tuber in that they can tolerate much wider extremes of temperature, and dryness than most animals do and manage this just the same way as Sea Monkeys or Sea Dragons.

How will they be shipped?

When your Coco Snails arrive they’ll be asleep, just pop them into your Sea Monkey home and watch them spring to life, have a little yawn, maybe even a scratch under the ear or two (not that they have any toe nails or ears offcourse) and then start looking for some algae to munch on.

How are they benifitial?

Coco Snails and Teeny Weeny Winkles work very hard cleaning away excessive growth of algae from your briny world and besides, with Sea Snails there is so much more to look at when gazing into your mini ocean viewer! Along with the other sea critters Little Aussie proudly provides you’ll be able to build a really interesting sea side habitat and just to let you know with all these characters we have now our list of ideas just keeps growing!

Whats different Coco Snails compared to Teeny Weeny Winkles?

Compared to their prettier cousin, Coco's are a uniform chocolate colour with a smooth whirled shell more like a pond snail than a sea snail. They are not as fussy about their water being as salty and are so tough they can nearly live in fresh water!

The Benifits to keeping Coco's

Coco snails also like to stay under the water unlike their mischievous escape artist brethren the Winkles who do like to go for a little wonder every now and again (though they never really go far). So because they like to be “in” the tank all of the time, you’ll be able to watch them more often and you’ll see how much more active they are during the day. This can only mean they do an even better job at eating algae and left over food when closely compared to Teeny Weeny Winkles performance. Perhaps Teeny Weeny Winkles with their pretty shells are the "prima Donna’s" of our “magic sea of wonders” and cute little Coco’s are the work horses when “algae control" is your primary concern.
