Lilia Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 So the other day I noticed these spots on the side of my tank. Im not sure if they are just like baby snails or if they are baby planaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 They look a bit like baby snails to me; though the pictures out of focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Looks like a limpet (a type of mollusc). There are many sizes and types, but one that's common is a teeny tiny freshwater aquarium "pest". "Pest" in quotes because they're usually only a problem when something is new or out of whack or out of balance. Eg overfeeding? New setup? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Limpets (little snails)! They are a beneficial part of the ecosystem. I have them too! If they get too annoying, cut back in feeding a bit. Find a magnifying glass or use the magnifier app to take a look at their little mouths in action cleaning the glass. It is neat.
