Wellxam Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I would like some help identifying this snail! I noticed one a few of them, no recent plant additions, but its possible that they were tiny/eggs, are these rams-horn snails? Also, is there a possibility that they are a brackish-water species, I ask because I recently got the tank up to approximately 1TBSP per 10 gallons of salt as apart of ich treatment (will be in the process of water-changing out the salt over the next couple of weeks, and I like these guys, so if they need brackish, I'd like to set something up for them. The only snails I deliberately introduced were 2 Nerite snails, a few of which I figured would hatch from the salt introduction, but as far as I know they should not start with a different shell-shape.

Brandon p Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 They should surrive that amount of salt. When you do your water change after the treatment will remove some salt. They don’t need salt but a little won’t hurt. Top pic is eggs of ramshorn with a size comparison. Second pic is a close up. The will be on anything that doesn’t move or moves slow. I have send ramshorn eggs on a live mystery snail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
