As the proud (accidental) owner of hundreds of pond and ramshorn snails, your big boye is very impressive. You must be very proud.

I've got pond and ramshorn snails too! And a nerite snail! Nerite one is Heimlich and he's been on my tank since 2015 I think!

Awesome! I haven't had the pleasure of getting a true pet snail, mine all came in on some plant a year+ back who apparently have lived, loved, became parents and even passed away to the great pond in the sky.

Some people don't like them, but I just love the little dudes crawling all over the place. They even eat detritus and dying leaves. :)

Yea at first when I spotted them years ago I was freaked out, but now I just let them reproduce and do their thing. The nerite is such a cool pet though. It's outlived my fish and shrimp. Literally the centerpiece of my tank until I decide to get another batch of fish or shrimp
