BF McUmber Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I ordered some neocaridina shrimp and plants from someone and got some hitchhiker snails which I was excited about. When I saw two of them today they had little white strings waving from their shells. Does anyone know what they are or if I need to do anything about them? Thanks, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeg Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Could be poop, I found that my snails are a poop magnet and have it hang from their shells a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF McUmber Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 oh interesting. My nerites poo is a bit different. I will have to look more closely if I see them again. thank you for the replies 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It looks a bit like poo, but also, bladder snails have this 'membrane' that's a part of their body that wraps around the side of the shell. I only really see them in bigger bladder snails. This picture kinda shows it if you look at the membrane wrapping up the side of the mantle: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
