Snail ID ?


Recommended Posts

Got these snails from I belive a java moss order . They are not over whelming as I kill them as they appear on my glass . But, if I didn't I would be . So any info on this type of snail would be appreciated . I see no eggs but they do keep showing up .

Looks to me like pond snails with mineral deficiencies.

They look all white . The pic. shows them in a different light , but maybe more accurate   . Dunno .

Bladder snails with the point going left.  They can become pests if the tank is overfeed. I keep cultures of them to feed pea puffers.  There are several species of fish that enjoy snail snacks and they can keep them under control and even eliminate them.  I don’t care if there are a few bladder snails in some of my tanks but I don’t want them in all my tanks so I move them to the culture tanks, remove and feed to pea puffers, or crush them and let fish of all kinds eat them.

Thanks guys ..  They are very little and show up at three or so a day . I get them when I see them on the front glass . 😁.  Sometimes on a plant or the filter. The shrimp like the dead snails .. 🤭

Nothing goes to waste in nature.
