Baby Mystery Snails are getting big!

[Akari_32]

My babies are growing up! Slowly, but surely lol

I got them when they were smaller then a peice of normal-sized gravel, and not they are almost half the size of my finger nail =D (pic at bottom)

Also got a cute video of one of them munching the algae off one of the rocks in there X3

Enjoy!

Very nice! Are those ivory ones?

 

[Akari_32]

Yep ^.^

Very pretty baby. I love the color.

Very pretty baby. I love the color.

They don't stay that color though. When they get big, they get the same color as the Mysteries in the store (yellow-y). I'm also getting a purple one and a blue one =D

 

[RogueAgent94]

They don't?? Okay how about this. You send me some babies and when they turn yellow I'll send them back and you send me some more babies !

No lol I guess some of the color depends on genetics though. The parents of these guys lighter then that (), but I have seen some that look just like the "albino" ones at PetSmart lol

LOL How 'bout not

 

[RogueAgent94]

Awww hahaha. That's okay, I'll just go with Trumpets haha.

 

[Akari_32]

I used to have those, but they get sucked up when you do gravel vacs. Not sure how I got them, but they were cute lol

 

[RogueAgent94]

LOL. I might have to try to breed some Nerites ;D.

All this snail talk recently is making me want to get one! That video you posted was absolutely adorable!

That would be fun! I would like to try that some day, but I'm not sure if I'll ever have a Saltwater tank LOL

Snails are fun. Some times you are like "Oh... Snails...." But after you have them, then you dont, you really miss them. Its weird lol

I have two others that look just like that =3

My PetSmart has albinos. I bet one around you would have them, or could order them for you

 

[jerilovesfrogs]

yeah I'll have to check around to see if I can find albinos. =] I have a petland, petco AND petsmart lol. i'm sure of of those could have them.

I have 4 Pet Supermarkets, 2 PetSmarts, 2 PetCo's and 2 LFSs that I go to, or am near (In the case of the closest PetCo...)

 

[jerilovesfrogs]

I am not aware of any pet supermarkets.....are they a southern thing? they sound pretty cool. well I have more stores than the ones I mentioned, I just meant those were the biggest ones, like right near me. ohhhh I forgot about aquarium adventure....hmmm. that's where I found my dark footed purples. they carry some unusual colors sometimes. too bad I was there the other day and didn't think to check! hahah

 

[Akari_32]

They must be. They are just now getting to be a well known chain here, and their number of stores is exlpoding (no lie lol). I did a search for them in Ohio on their website, and it came up with nothing lol
