Decided to post a small pic reel cuz I love these little guys, one of the most underrated aquarium snails imo.

Last Pic I think is of Pearl taking a nap, love these goobers they're so derpy and colorful.

I just got two new Nerites today. Acclimated them for an hour and placed them in. left them alone to settle for the afternoon… come back and one is nowhere to be seen. the tank is pretty barren too — so almost nowhere to hide.

Well the rock on the far right of the tank was sitting atop the driftwood before. he had crammed himself under that somehow. I spent like 30 minutes inspecting the tank and looking around the stand to see if he had escaped ! i’m super glad he’s okay, but man the first few days of owning these guys always stresses me out. never sure if they’ll settle in properly or not …

My apple snail Big Chungus. Second pic is him compared to my Betta.

My mystery snails laid eggs and I'd like to give it a go raising some of them, so I bought a 2nd hand tank from a recycling centre which I thought would be great for the babies. When I got it home however, I went to clean it and as soon as I took the lid off I got hit with the smell of clove oil (completely my fault for not checking before purchasing). I need some opinions - is it still safe to use if I wash it out several times? Or will it kill the babies?

Just sitting back enjoying a snack I guess. My salvinia though 😭

Our snail is really active this evening, never noticed all the beautiful orange spots.

unused built-in filter box finally coming to good use, lights in the lid keep the eggs warm/humid too

Is this something to be concerned about? I bought 3 red racers about 2 months ago. I don’t remember if these chips were there when they came from the store, but I’m wondering now if they’re a concern or how to help them. Only one of the 3 has them. Of the other 2, one is perfectly uniform shell, the other has a white tip on the spiral of the shell which I’m assuming is also a chip.

There are calcium sources in the water, cuttlebone. 6.8 pH, 8GH, 2kh. 20 gal tank, cycled for about 4 months. Snails added 2 months ago.

I have beautiful gold mystery snabies maturing and am curious how old/big they must be before I give them away? They are my first batch and it's so fun to care for them and watch them change.

Alright, I still have lots of movement after a week with is huge! I have them in a small breeder box inside of a 10 gallon aquarium. When do I dump them into the rest of the aquarium? I don’t want them to die again. These are baby mystery snails.

I’ve got this little container set up for some radix snails (I adore them, they’re nostalgic for me since I used to find them back home before I moved cross country, and today, 7 years later, I found some at the fish store and got them for free.)

Is it possible for them to live comfortably in here until I get a 5 gallon in the future? My wife wants shrimp, and while I know 5 gallons is hard to hold a cycle, the only livestock for a few months will be these fun little dudes. I could also get a kritter keeper tbh if it’s too small, probably better at holding water. (This enclosure is advertised as waterproof, but I have my doubts.)

The water is cloudy because of the rocks, which I can remove if they make the water too soft. I have test strips for pH, but heavier testing equipment is not yet present. No filter, no heater, but my wife likes the room to be 72-78F.

Still don't know what species these guys are but they love the marimo moss in my tank.

I hope they get along with the cherry shrimp I plan on putting in soon. I was worried the shrimp would accidentally eat them when they were itty bitty so I waited longer to let them grow a bit. I think they're big enough now that the shrimp hopefully won't harm them.

I have an established 5.5 gallon that’s been empty for a couple months now. I just ordered some more plants to fill it up a bit more. I want something simple and easy to maintain, so I’m thinking of just adding one or two nerites and nothing else. Any recommendations of good online shops that sell aquatic snails?

tried to catch Roslyn parasnailing but got caught red handed 😔

Hello everyone! I went to my lfs to buy some assassin snails as I was starting to get a bladder snail infestation. I got 3 of them and after some acclimating, maintenance to my tank (just moving plants around), I noticed 1 of them was blue ? I’m curious if that’s even an assassin snail. Thank you for the help !

i kept wondering why one snail kept growing so much faster than the other and it turns out she’s just a girl.
