Mystery snail shell started growing darker when I got him

[Plzhelp]

So this is Fin my second blue mystery snail I bought him a very light blue and now he’s growing darker shell he moves around good he’s growing she’ll quickly and he seems happy to me so I imagine he’s fine and it might be different mineral compounds in my home water because we do have well water but I’m not sure.I also have another mystery snail I go whose shell looked cracked and unhappy he’s brown and his new shell looks really pretty and healthy but still similar to the old shell color as before. Any tips or tricks or things I may be doing wrong are appreciated.

You are doing well!

That's a sign they are doing better under your care and in your tank.

Nothing to worry about, the shell growth looks pretty healthy

The blue color gets lighter again when it keeps growing. Just make sure it grows healthily, which already seems like it is!

Here is my Rick when I got him and when he reached adulthood for reference:

You can see from where he started to grow his shell on my tank:

His shell color when he grew up

Looks like a very good growth as I said. Don't you worry!

Thank you for this post! I was about to post this same question about my blue snail and his snail is starting to go back to the lighter blue so I was like oh no did I break him?! He seems healthy very active and eating well. It is nice to know he is just growing like he is supposed to! 🙂

Your snail is now getting better nutrients than they had previously. Great job!
