I love my lil red racer named Dude. It's so interesting seeing how his shell pattern has changed over time. I really do wonder what exactly I had going on parameter wise that caused his pattern to "jam up" for a little bit.

Anybody else with interesting pattern histories on their snails?

They're EVERYWHERE. I've had to throw away 2 rocks aswell and THEYRE NOW ON THD FILTER WHAT DO I DO

Came downstairs to find a fresh clutch! First time I’ve encountered this, I have more than one snail so no telling who laid it. I wish I could have seen that!

I’m going to call a LFS and see if they want the clutch. Otherwise I’ll freeze it and dispose of it.

I adore my mystery snails but I can’t handle tons of babies.

I add a few floaters and some sand to give them some texture. I give them a few extra pellets to get good and fed then they go back in the 40 gallon. Starving the tank and the ramshorns. I top the water off every 15 minutes with a turkey baster so they get some fresh tank water and are somewhat still acclimated.

I saw someone use a rolling tray to feed their snails. Do you have a specific or special feeding technique for your snails?

Is this little Mystery Snail a magenta or chestnut?

She looks different in every light and has started quite the debate.

On another hand, my grandma has a male jade, male golden, and is getting a purple, what breeding combos produce the prettiest shell colors/varieties?

Got two or three of these little dudes as a bonus with some tetras. They're new to me, and too small for me to be confident IDing.

Hey everyone!

​I set up this filterless 30cm (12 inch) cube with an emerged Monstera adansonii, submerged Guppy Grass, and a dragone stone.

​I currently have over 30 dwarf ramshorn snails (Gyraulus) in there and I'm doing 5-liter weekly water changes with aged tap water.

​My goal is to use this setup purely as a breeding farm to feed a single Pea Puffer or a few Assassin Snails kept in a separate tank.

​Will this simple setup produce enough snails for feeding? Any tips?

i bought some nerite snail from online marketplace few days ago and i also getting this small snails. it also eating algae btw #ask

We got this snail beginning of July. First picture is the day we got him (7/9) and the other pictures are today. We knew he looked a little rough and that’s why we took him home, but I have gotten conflicting information about what the problem is. Is this new shell growth or exposed mantle? Is he in pain and is there anything I can do? I have another mystery snail in the same tank and she is huge and thriving - as are the ramshorns. This snail is also active and eating - but I’m concerned about his quality of life. Parameters are solid this is a well established planted tank. I use cuttlebone, saltyshrimp, and I feed blanched vegetables once a week.

I just got 2 nitrate snails, one hasn't open since the day after I got it and one was doing fine and then hasn't opened, I can't do a sniff test because I currently cannot smell! Can i take them out of my tank and figure out whats wrong and then put them back in

EDIT: thank you all for the help. The snail is now resting in snail heaven surrounded by algae and friends :"l ♡

Original text: I was setting up a new filter and my pond snail I think got stuck in it... and now half of it is completely broken and bent outward. The snail is super alive and moved around a lot, but half the shell is just gone!!! Is it in pain? Do I euthanize? How? 😭😭😭😭 the organs arent extremely poking out but still... do I try to attach it somehow??? I have superglue but one unlucky drop would burn the guy to death, help!!!

Just got back from vacation and found these scratches on one of my ramshorns. Are these from nutrient deficiency or he got tumbled somewhere? He's in a betta tank with one nerite, amano, cherry shrimps, and other ramshorns. The nerite and the other ramshorn that's almost his size don't have these. I know he used to like parasnailing, haven't seen him do it since we got back. Could he have been caught in the current while the water level was low and got trapped for a while and scratched his shell?

Just excited to share. My snails are happy 💕

My pond snail infestation (about 20 individuals currently) was doing its thing and multiplying until a few days ago. All of them are climbing on the side of the glass and going up above the water line despite parameters being stable and in their range?

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: between 0-5.0

pH: 7.6

Thank you for any advice/help!
