Just a Pygmy Corydora Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I have a 5g community tank. Recently my snail passed away, and I took a trip to Aquarium Coop for some new plants. It’s been around a month since i had them, but I spotted this weird thing that moves, it looks like a snail but it has two shells…what is it? Also, is it an invasive species and should I remove it? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I wouldn’t remove them, but what invasive to you may not be to me. It’s your call whether you want more snails or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Those are actually MINI ramshorns which are a different species from the regular ones. They are rapid reproducing and considered pest snails. Some people like them and some people don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
