Are they more nocturnal or is my new guy just very very slow 😂

Dropped him in and he's moved twice but I have yet to catch him doing so.

In my tank I have ramshorn snails, Pygmy corydoras, tetras and shrimp

I’m thinking ramshorn eggs??

My son snuck two snails home from the fish store, I was pretty mad about it, but he told me they would be good for the tank and that the shop owner taught him how to handle them.

I thought they were kind of dumb before, but now I see the appeal. I like trying to find them hiding in the tank. I set up a Timelapse camera and saw that they reacted to stimuli super slowly. I saw the snail thinking about climbing onto a leaf and beginning to touch it, only for the Betta to knock into the leaf and scare the snail making it turn away. Now I'm absolutely charmed by them.

One of my nerite snails came from the store with some chips on its shell. Today he left some weird brown streaks on the glass. I hope it isn't a piece of his body or something, I thought their poop was little white dots.

how did they get in my tank? will they hatch? i have them all over and i have never seen them hatch. do they need special requirements for hatching? mine just disappear…

Hi folks, Last week I got my first ever mystery snail. He was thriving in my tank as happy as anything, but sadly it was short lived as I have hurt the little guy. One day I couldn't see him anywhere so I lifted the glass lid and seen he was up in the corner by the filter munching on some plants or something. I clumsily put the lid back down but it bonked him and he fell to the bottom of the tank. His shell is not cracked but he hasn't been the same since :( and it makes me so sad. Now he spends a lot of time upside down like in the picture below. He does move about ever so slightly and I do see him appear in other places but he might be in this upright position for many hours before moving and hanging on the back of a leaf in the same spot for many hours. Is he dying do you think?

Only keeping ramshorns and plants in a new nano setup. Would calcium carbonate white sand and capped with smooth gravel be okay for ramshorns?

Hi! I have a cycled 5gal tank. Had a small female betta, but she recently passed. Left in my tank is 1 nerite snail, and 3 ghost shrimp. I have a lot of biofilm growing on my drift wood, should i be buying food for my snail and shrimp? Or is the biofilm enough to feed them w/o a fish in the tank? I will eventually get a new fish, but we are grieving.

Hi! I've found loads of conflicting information online. Some sources say they cannot handle brackish water, some say they are very hardy and can adapt and even breed in brackish water. Does anyone know or have experience with them in brackish water?

Thank you!

Believe this is injury related.. Not sure what happened as Bluey is a bit of a daredevil and likes to geyser to the top riding the bubbles and free fall back down, but it also could have happened during a tank deep clean to get rid of pests or after we switched out decor and he got overly ambitious trying to squeeze into the Tardis and need aid getting unstuck.

It was very minor at first but this last week it has rapidly increased and the side near the glass seems to be deteriorating. pH is about 6.8 right now and Nitrates are about 25 but it’s cleaning day so those will change.

They must have hitched a ride on a plant. Are they dangerous to my betta or nerite? We are inexperienced owners

Hii so I recently lost my betta Bobo, but I still have his buddy Salty (nerite snail) in a small tank. I just got home and noticed some baby snails… the weird part is, I haven’t added ANY new plants or decorations since over 4/5 months ago. How would these ramshorn snails make it into my tank?

These two are the only ramshorns that i bought, which is why their early shell growth is kinda ugly lol. All of their babies and grandbabies are nowhere near this size yet, weirdly all of their babies seem to die long before they get this big. Their names are Big Blue and Pink Princess and sometimes i go days without seeing either of them, but they are a joy to see nonetheless

we have a white spotted rabbit snail and some orange rabbit snails in a tank, and i think this is a hybrid between them ! the white spotted rabbit snail has had other babies but this one is by far the most noticeable. any name ideas ?
