“Lavender” leopard ramshorn snails?

[Epiphanaea]

This little hitchhiker is rather pretty, and happily cloning herself as they will do.  So far I’ve been scooping the tiny snails out of my snail tank and tossing in the goldfish tank, and letting the food chain and natural selection do its thing - I end up with a few adult snails (so far only bladder snails, but the ramshorns are pretty new).

So, just wondering if anyone would potentially want this color morph?  If I should keep a few aside to grow up to sellable size?

Very cute. Probably a blue leopard ramhorn. The foot is pinkish, that's why it looks like that. Some of the blues have dark foot which makes their shell look very blue.

Also, the gold sheen on the bladder snails' shell. That's super gold/bronze and shiny! Is it the effect of the light?

Nope, I’ve got some that are metallic and some that are nearly black (I’m not sure the dark color is actually genetic and not environmental, though, as I’ve seen them go black if there’s a problem with water quality - though some do seem to just hatch that way.)
