I'm pretty pleased so far with the results of adding crushed coral and Wondershell to my pink ramshorn tank. I'm still chasing that PERFECT shell without any white spots.

And some lovely detritus worms in this photo. I think of them as aquarium sprinkles.

And recently I bought a pack of multi colored mysteries off of Aquabid. I got purples, blues, golds and light and dark browns.

None of the purples wanted their pics taken today. 

I'm thinking of adding some magentas into the mix soon, since I really love the look.

Also, I love how they eat duckweed. I'm thinking about incorporating it into their food somehow.

@Harpsandfish thanks! This is my grow-out tank for my baby honey gouramis. There’s no one in there with the amanos right now, but there will be in a few weeks! The feeding plate is just the saucer from a tiny pot I bought a succulent in. And the cube is some home-made snello! (Snail jello—jello for snails, not jello made of snails. 😉) Here’s the recipe I used:

Oh no! My mystery snail had a low speed collision with 1 of my bladder snails, and ran him over! Im tempted to pluck my mystery snail off the glass and save the little guy. What should i do?

It'll be fine. My mysteries run over my other snails all the time and it doesn't seem to do any harm. :3

Here's my 5 gallon pink ramshorn tank I keep on the kitchen windowsill.

And here is my favorite mystery snail I keep in my betta's tank. She was having a little floaty siesta. Please pardon Mister Mojo's tumors, he can't help them.

She soon woke up and dropped to the bottom.

And a pretty trio of mysteries in my 29 gallon.
