Alexoxoandra Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Excuse the algae mess, but what are those two little ones? I got 2 nerite snails about 2 months ago and one day I see one of those little dudes & one nerite, so I thought maybe his shell fell off (is that even possible?) Or something. I've only ever seen 1 of each until this morning - apparently there's 2 new snails & 2 nerites! My question is- do snails grow shells? Or do they have ones just very small? Also any idea what kind these are? The only thing I have added to the tank has been plants from co-op so could these be some bonus snails? I'm so surprised/confused lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Looks like some common snails. Doubt it’s Nerite babies. Snail eggs are so small... and you won’t notice snails for awhile until they’re large enough. They do have shells, even from smallest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjuliano Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Nerites cannot breed in freshwater. They need brackish water to propagate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetBelleAnie Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Looks like bladder snails, they could have come on the plants. I have some in my tank I am trying to remove (so I can have my prefered, more colorful ramshorn snails) that probably came in on plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
