| The first picture is our snail farm. We've got it set up for our puffers. Actually, I hate the snails less when they're in that little fish bowl than when they're in one of my tanks. We've got mainly ramshorns, and another type (we have no idea what they are). These guys will eat a piece of lettuce into oblivion in no time. Really impressive.
The next picture are ramshorn close-up. They are always hitching a ride from each other. They just stick to another's shell and wait to be moved around.
The last one is one of my zebra snail. Note how even the flesh is striped. I love that. They're great at eating green spot algae.
Oh, and the great thing about snails? You can actually take pictures without them moving about at the last moment like my fish do! | |

| Here's some more snail pictures.
The first two are of my zebra (nerite) snail in what's left of a cucumber. Of course, my ballooney lady could not resist getting her nosey little face in the shot, LOL.
The last two are of my late apple snail which passed away really quickly after I had it. The betta was fascinated by it when it was still in the bag, then she totally ignored it.

| Looks like I am the only one posting in this one. Guys? 
Right, so here's a bizarre one. I have no idea what they were doing, but my two zebra snails where 'kissing'. At least they were flesh to flesh. Am guessing mating? Or was that a fight? | |

Here's a few pix of my yellow apple snails. Sorry some are a bit blurry but I thought it's still a cool shot. | |

| Here's a couple of shots of our snail farm. That's what happens if you leave a piece of lettuce in there: it gets eaten into absolutely nothing - and I mean nothing - in a couple of days. Really impressive. Mainly they're ramshorns in the shot.
The other two are my zebra snail.

| Here are my mystery snails...
The gold one I've had for probably 6 months or so, his name is Lester.
The white one is brand new, his name is Speedy because he's the fastest snail I've ever seen.
The black on is also brand new, his name is King Kong - "Kong" for short. He's the smallest and the slowest of the 3. He got his name because he climbed all the way up my Buddha statue.
Lester's pretty happy though...not only because he got new friends but he also moved from a 2.5 gallon tank to a 20 gallon tank. It's like moving from a studio apartment to a Beverly Hills mansion. 
EDIT: I changed King Kong's name to Baby. After watching its behaviors I found that it's the smallest of the 3 and it likes to snuggle with the other snails. So, Baby it is.

| This is my first ever golden mystery
I've had him about a week and I already have decided that I love these snails 
I have dubbed thee 'Steve'. It just seemed right at the time Boyfriend wanted to call it Gary, and mum doesn't like 'human' names for fish-like creatures. Well, too bad, Steve it is
Steve pastimes include motoring around the tank, very occasionally resting underneath the filter. Steve likes this tank much better - there are no evil platy fry constantly nipping at him whenever he tries to emerge from his house 
Steve's favourite food so far appears to be cucumber, as can be seen from this photo. He ate one side of it (it's weighed down by a plant weight), then proceeded to turn it over slightly so he can munch on the other side. | |
