Cinnebuns Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 One thing I like about ramshorn snails is the random colors that will pop out. I used to line breed for species colors. I've had dozens of colors. I've never had this. Has anyone else gotten ones this color? I've gotten plenty of red and Albino. I've heard of, but never seen gold. This is more of an orange. It also has black in the middle. Anyone ever get one like this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miska Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) That is so cool! I have never seen that. I am not nearly as experienced as you- but I hope someone comes along to answer! I have leopard and they have kind of that orangey tint, maybe something from that kind of rams horn? Edited March 26, 2023 by Miska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 I found 2 more. I put all 3 in a breeder box today. I told myself no more line breeding ramshorn snails but here we are haha 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Looks like dark pink flesh and gold shell? I call that rose gold. Looks almost orange color to me, too. I have more of them than anything else. I’d love to find some solid gold ones - yellow flesh, gold shell. I’ve seen pics but none in real life. I’ve also never seen anything but pics of ivory - super pale pink, almost white flesh, and translucent white shell. My pinks have just a touch more pink to the flesh than the one ivory that I’ve seen in a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few out of the thousands total that I've had though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I like the red bodied ones with gold shell the most! I breed them as goby food but kinda just let them have at it. Saw a dark blue one at the LFS the other day had to do a double take I thought they were feeding mystery snails to the puffers 🥺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 That looks super cool! I only have pink/red ramshorns, so that is something i've never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHuck Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hello! New here . Can anyone identify this hitch hiker I recently discovered? thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Guys Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Ramshorn snail. Very benign, does not attack. They eat algea and clean up debris. They are neither male or female and will multiply on their own so get ready for the family to move in. I love mine and when I get too many I give away the excess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be better asked making your own post rather than bumping a post over a year old. That way you can get feedback specific to you while not hijacking another post.

Little Guys Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 They are facinating creatures. My sister gave me a gray/blue one that was mostly looked like it had stripes in sections (new growth?) It had babies that look like blue leopards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHuck Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Thank you, that was my assumption. I’m glad to have acquired it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
