Mother's Day is right around the corner! I think Japanese Trapdoor snails may be my new favorite snails:

1) unique, natural colors

2) eat algae

3) slow livebearers with 9 months gestation!

Carbon rili on hornwort (I should have put a wonder shell in this tank, even with my liquid rock. My colony would not have crashed when I got sick).

This hitchhiker (and 3 siblings) came in on some azolla I bought. Luckily I carefully quarantine and sort my plants before putting them in tanks. I fed mosquito larvae to the fish, and any I didn't catch were easily picked off by these guys when they were in larval form. 

Now I have damsel flies in my rack system, eating bugs out of my terra plants😅

They have almost eliminated the gorgeous green algae (is it hair algae? It's the brightest green I have ever seen).
