TheCzarista Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We noticed today these very very small critters on the glass in our betta 2.5 gallon tank. Any thoughts about what they might be? The only plants in this tank are anubias nana petite that we got from ACO several weeks back. We haven't added our removed anything since then. Our parameters are solid, listed below. Ph 7.2 No ammonia No nitrites Nitrates at about 30 This is a fairly established tank. The only thing of note is that we had an algae bloom that recently died off. Any thoughts would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 If I had to guess I would say baby snail of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Most people would cringe at the thought of a snail infestation, but I welcome our new invertebrate overlords. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmedByFish Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Doesn't look at all like a snail to me. Search for images of "limpet." Might be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. Thank you! Well, since they are not harmful to my betta, and since he is a jerk to anything else that tries to clean his tank.... guess who has new tank mates! 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
