BAT Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Is this ridge/impression normal for my mystery snail Bluey? It is active and has doubled its size. I keep a small wonder shell in the 20g at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It looks to me like it was from a change in water parameters, maybe the change from the store tank to yours? @Guppysnail Do you agree? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the oldest thick growth looks to be from the breeder or wild. Then a thin band from store where it was not getting what it needed then your fabulous care grew nice thick shell again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedrock Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I totally agree that band is from the LFS and middleman that got them to you. The new grow looks great and you should be proud of your skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
