Sapere_Ceta Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Found this cool little guy on my glass. It moves like a snail, but has no shell. It also has a clear jelly-like substance encasing it. I’m curious if anyone knows what it could be. It’s very large compared to the copepods also present in this tank.

Administrators Cory Posted January 30, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2021 looks like a baby pond/pest snail to me. One of my favorite if not my favorite snail for my aquariums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand why. They are pretty great! Cute as well haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty happy to see that. I sadly eradicated all of my snails at one point having while treating my previous betta for gill flukes, though they kept progressing through everything I tried and by then, it became too late. I went through and disinfected everything and never saw a snail after that. So seeing a baby snail definitely cheers me up that they hopefully blossom in the main aquarium now.
