Hi everyone, I’m completely new to keeping an aquarium. I have one mystery snail named Pokey lol my mom found her old shallow murky tank by the side of the road with the garbage and she was inside. (I think she) I told my mom to bring her to me lol so now I have gone and got her a 5 gallon starter kit tank, I have crab cuisine and bug bites. I’ve been reading and watching videos but still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. What you see in the video is the new tank setup, there’s a couple live plants in there, I got some sand and did sand on one side and her old gravel from her old tank on the other. I didn’t rinse the rocks and used some of her old water in this tank. I see people do a rotating diet but I don’t know how often to feed each thing and when? Anything else I should know to help (her?) thrive?

So my snails have snex, a lot! I thought this one was female because its always been the bottom. But that looks like my girl has a penis? Wtf is going on?

There were four baby snails 3 days ago. 2 days ago she started acting weird, laying on her back but out in the open, then all these babies appeared. They absolutely did not come from eggs. I didn’t know there were species of snails that give live birth. Can someone tell me what kind of snail she is? Im also concerned that she’s not moved much since giving birth. Is she dying?

Is this a bladder snail? Haven’t gotten any new plants for a while and always treat everything with peroxide so shocked that this guy randomly showed up. He’s pretty big but I haven’t seen any others? Is it a bladder snail? What should I do with him?

I’m upgrading my fish to 29 gallons. Could I put snails in the old tank and how hard are they to care for? What snails should I use and do I need to feed them and how often?

I was thinking just live plants and snails but if snails need to live with other animals I suppose I could do that but I’ll probably stick to just my fish.

I recently rescued this mystery snail, I’ve had her alone in this tank set up for probably 2 weeks now with a couple plants. Suddenly there are 3 snail babies and I don’t know what kind they are. Also does anyone know why they’re all drastically different sizes? If you do know the type any facts about them would be greatly appreciated!

HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM? Like I know I can’t get it off wood and whatever but Thing didn’t deserve this

they’re the same size but i am still worried

I’m concerned after having a friend who couldn’t get them out of his tank after a first clutch hatched. He was removing snails forever. Thoughts? I love them but I have 5 already and tank can’t support more

Ok so, my several months old nanotank is fully cycled. The first snails I put in the tank 4 weeks ago were 5 ramshorn snails. In the meantime I put shrimp and nerites in my tank and had a bladder snail hitchiker (that also had babies) and a white trumpet snail hitchhiker.

I only want to keep snails and shrimp, no fish. And I like the ramshorn, but I wonder if this amount of ramshorn is sustainable. The group on the picture isn't all of them, they are all over the tank, mostly on the bottom. So what do I do now? Feed them more so no one dies? Sell the baby ramshorn? Buy another tank? I don't want to kill them, they are cute and you can see their little hearts beat in their translucent shells. 🥰

tiny buddy…

Not the greatest picture but wtf can I do about this? What’s the maximum amount of water I can change each day in a 40 gallon tank? How do I make sure this doesn’t happen again? Are there any chemicals I can add that won’t harm the snails?

Hi there, I'm new to keeping snails and just got my new addition to the tank, Bartholomew (guess the name doesn't fit anymore).

Seems (she?) just laid eggs, the first day I brought (it?) in my tank. Definitely got a big surprise at 7 am in the morning today!

I'm just curious if the eggs themselves should be kept out of water, as she laid them upside down on the tanks roof... Should I let them stay there? Or maybe try to pick up the eggs and put them in the water? I'd like to keep the baby snails if I could...

Second photo is obligatory proof of the problem causing mother in question

I found these little guys crawling around, could have hitched a ride on some plants (new tank). Also have two nerite snails. Should I remove these little ones or just let them eat?

I don’t know which snail is the best suited for this type of tank. Should I even get one? I was thinking I should get a small snail as a cleaning crew.

Hi everyone! I have a couple hundred mystery snail babies (magentas and purples). I'm going to keep maybe 15 of them but am looking to re-home as many as I can. They are still tiny, but growing fast! I tried the local pet store, but they said they couldn't take them.

A couple of questions...

1. Anyone want some free snails? (Just pay shipping 😉)

   1. If I end up having to euthanize, what is the best way to do that?
      
   2. How do you keep snails alive and warm enough in the mail? I live in a cold climate and we are getting into winter 🥶

Thank you for any advice!

One is WAYYY shorter than the other, can I fix it or is this how he will be?

i got these guys from my brother what the hell are they doing???? i tried poking them with a net to get and get them to detach but they won't let go 😨😨😨😨

I don't want to kill them if I don't have to. But my lfs is overstocked too.

Mystery snail laid eggs over the weekend in a 5 gallon tank with least killifish and shrimp. Any tips on how to care for them?

My 50 gallon is overrun with Malaysian Trumpet Snails. I already have 6 assassin snails in there, but I don't think they are enough. I do overfeed the tank, as it is a breeding tank (guppies and bristlenose plecos). Any suggestions?

Hi, I noticed my mystery snail inside the decoration for two days. There is no foul smell and i tried to pull it out but its feet are stuck Is it dying? Should I use force and pull it out, will that kill the snail?

There are about 7 from what I can see, they just started showing up after I got some new plants for my tank. They are actually adorable and if they’re safe to keep then keep I will, but just to be safe I am asking, are they harmless? I tried to get as clear of pictures as I could but they are so itty bitty. 💔 Any advice is appreciated, I’ve never kept snails before. 🫶🏼

10 gallon tank (temp 72)

I have a slight hydra problem but I'm not sure how because I barely feed this tank

Stocking: 12 raccoon tiger shrimp (2 pregnant and possibly shrimplets) 2 baby mystery snails 1 large adult 3 Otto cats Bladder snails 1 assassin snail 3 nerite snails 1 anoma shrimp (i know I spelled it wrong but idk)

Plants: Anubis 2 crypts Water sprites Hornwort Christmas moss/java moss Red root floaters Duckweed Pothos Spider plants Amazon frog bit Java ferns

I've tried removing by hand but I can't access ALL my tank due to it being very thickly planted and alot' of driftwood in the back: (
