Garren Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This must have been a hitchhiker at some point. First time seeing a different snail besides my nerites in the tank. Please help me identify it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomCatMatt Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Idk what kind they are but you might want to remove him if you dont want them. I have them, and 1 turned to 30 real fast 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 My guess is Malaysian Trumpet snail 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien86 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like Malaysian Trumpet snail. They're considered pests by some, but I love them. They will burrow in sand and finer gravel, not gonna do that in your tank of course. They like eating anything that decomposes, but don't eat live plants (or rather the live part of a plant). They give birth to live snails (so no eggs laying around). And if it's a female and it doesn't have any males around, it will produce clones. I hope you won't kill the little guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garren Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Definitely have at least 5 that I can count. Really small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Pearl Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 If you like snails, and your LFS will give you some store credit for some, why not allow them to breed? It may be only a few bucks, but it'll be worth a guppy or two once in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garren Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I appreciate everyone's thoughts. I just don't think it is worth keeping up with removing them. Plus it is part of a healthy ecosystem in my opinion. @Dandy Pearl good 💡. I will keep this in mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
