BeeGryphon Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Hi all! I saw a little thing on one of my pods at fish dinner time, took a zoom in and it looks like a bitty ramshorn to me, but I've never kept any before. Last live plants I added were over a month ago (Marimo ball might have been a little later, 3-4 weeks??). Everything since then has been fish or dry botanicals. Is it possible this guy hitched a ride so long ago? Of course my nerites went nocturnal a few days in so for all I know I have a whole army of ramshorns coming out to party every night.

CJs Aquatics Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Looks like a baby ramshorn to me definitely plausible it came in on the last plant order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached into the tank a bit ago to move a couple things around and when I pulled my hand out, there were two more hitching a ride! So yeah I'm guessing I had some eggs that either recently hatched or these guys are feeling big and confident enough (they're tiny) to be moving out in the open now.

CJs Aquatics Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I personally like them I have them in most of my tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving them be for right now. I do have a betta so I'm just hoping he doesn't try to eat their antenna when they get bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I think you will be alright but no two bettas seem to act the same so it’s definitely worth monitoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
