It better eat algea.

I have mostly pink and brown leopard, this is the first blue ramshorn Ive seen in person! My new pride and joy 😂

Thinking of calling him Boris

Grabbed a blue mystery snail today and picked up a cryptocoryne crispatula tissue culture while I was at the shop... Over the last couple hours all three portions have been pulled up and the snails have been going to town on them.

Anybody see this before? I'm curious if it's a bit of grow gel left on the plants that they were after.

Soo I brought this guy home from a LFS two months ago. He was the size of a chickpea, sold as a black mystery snail. He has grown so fast, I had to give him his own tank, as he was eating allll my plants. He did escape the new tank, & take a header out of the tank last week and spent the day on the floor, which is where he got the forehead (?) dent. Fore-shell dent? I love him. He’s insanely huge & fun to watch.

Do you think he’s a black mystery? He looks more mottled than spotted like my other mysteries. I’ve looked at the photo that gets posted here where it shows the difference between mystery & apple, just looking for some helpful input :) 

Edit: my bad. I didn’t know you could hear me talking to him and I don’t know how to change it now😂

Came home last night to find one of the mystery’s leaving me a wonderful surprise.

Have had this snail for several weeks now. This is the first time I've seen it do this at the surface. I'm not sure exactly what it's doing.

Wear your children to work day

Sunny says good morning

lol i feel like she is just going for a ride but not sure 😂 . i just got a new filter that’s a little stronger, she’s never done this before but has been doing it constantly the last 2 days

It took me a very long time to decide on a name, but my friend suggested Fred and it seems right!! He’s the only one of my three who seems very strong and active. One has passed away, and the other is just pretty slow and inactive, which I’m hoping isn’t a bad sign! I didn’t name either of those two so I wouldn’t get attached 😅

I took some samples from a private pond today for my microscopy hobby and found this snail. It must have hitchhiked on the hornwort I collected—I’ve never seen one like this before, but the spots are pretty. I first noticed it when it was already busy cleaning the jar.

Anyone want to help me ID this? Maybe care tips as well? I eventually plan on building an aquarium 😁

This is a white wizard trapdoor snail, the shell coloration comes from algae and Cyanobacteria combined with the natural iridescence of the shell.

Is she alright?

One of my biggest and favorite pond snails

I was wondering which of my nerites was laying huge amounts of eggs on my glass. But this morning the mystery was solved & I got to watch her lay the last two of this clutch. She spent several minutes scraping the glass before sliding an egg out of a hidden little pocket! Insanely cool to see. Thought you all might enjoy it also. 💖

Name suggestions welcome, btw. 😁

My partner got some plants and forgot to rinse them and had a REALLY bad outbreak of bladder snails/pond snails. She decided to get some assassin snails to help bring the population down..... These bladder snails are SMART!! Check out this cheeky little chappie hitching a ride!

Recently put together a new 10 gallon tank, and plopped the random bladder snail into the new tank. It originally appeared in my old tank 🤷‍♀️… Now he suddenly ‘walks’ on water.

Do all snails do this? Ive never seen my nerite do this.

And he has approximately half a brain cell. Poor guy.
