Lexi B Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I found my first snail ever. He came in on a big purchase of plants and has gotten quite large from when I first saw him. I just wonder what kind of snail he is? I don't know anything about snails, but my guess is maybe a nerite snail? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec2cool Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Indeed, a bladder snail like Colu said. I have dozens upon dozens of them. I haven't found them to be as effective as Ramshorns or Mysteries in consuming algae and dead plant matter but they are certainly entertaining to watch. They are known to "wag" their shells and mine seem to do this to eachother, I'm almost convinced they are intentionally having some kind of spat. They'll circling eachother, swinging their shells like some kind of showdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have at least 5 or 6 different types of stow away snails in my tanks. If you keep buying plants you will keep getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
