Snail photos

[Frisbee]

Got some better pics of my horned nerites when they are not “into it”.

Snail diary: those cute selfies
Having lunch with your friends
Having lunch alone
Getting a breath of air
Hiding from the camera
Those awkward positions
Doing your chores cleaning up
And finally, taking a break and having a nice long nap

Is a vid also allowed ?

Best transportation in the aquarium

Either pest snails are just the laziest critters ever or Nerites have started a rideshare program. Uber for snails.

 

[Pescado_Verde]

This is JAN (Just Another Nerite)

 

[Pescado_Verde]

55 gallons. Plenty of driftwood, lots of algae. They still end up wanting the same spot.

They were holding hands

 

[Pescado_Verde]

Those were just eggs that were laid on it that hatched.

Help me out here if you don't mind, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Here's the picture with an arrow pointing at what I guess is a snail? And in the circle area, those are hatched eggs that were laid on another snail?

The first baby snail to appear in my aquarium

This little one maybe small -- but it sure is fast! Been zipping around like crazy

Snail photo dump. I posted them in my aquarium build thread but why not share here too, right?

Blue background makes it look like they've gone mountain climbing.



Trying to cram ten pounds of snail into a five pound hole.

Recent close up of a ramshorn cleaning my bacopa quite nicely ( woohoo their making a comeback! ) and my nerite and ADF in a different tank

 

[Pescado_Verde]

Waiter, I'll have what he's having!



I went to take a picture of my Pleco enjoying his new terracotta watering spike and found this guy cruising the glass.

Dinner time snail pile for the food!

Our mystery snail. This was a week or so after we got it. It's been over a month now. Its SO much bigger lol

 

[Pescado_Verde]

They grow up so fast, you wonder where the time went!

One of the Nerites out "mountain" climbing...

 

[SarahBear1009]

Here is our mystery snail now. And our nerite!

 

[Pescado_Verde]

I was taking pictures of the fish and this guy dropped into the frame.



My lone Mystery snail.

Ramshorn and baby Cory’s sharing a shrimp pellet

 

[snailyfriends]

I got three little ramshorns last month. they're already having babies!!!

 

[snailyfriends]

I can't remember if I already posted this snail here. his name is peekaboo!! he had a hole in his shell when I bought him. it's healed up now and he's the biggest snail i've ever had. he's addicted to peanut butter. maybe it's all the protein making him huge

 

[snailyfriends]

and this is drogon. they're very shy. also gob stin isthe second picture is still alive and well!! he's a very old snail.

This is Blofeld, my Assassin snail

He is a real life James Bond villain...somehow he has managed to evade certain death twice. He managed to survive 2 separate dosing treatments of 3 days that were 7 days apart of Gastropex. Currently his only nemesis is Hamilton, one of my Kissing Gourami, who enjoys knocking Blofeld off the glass just as he is about to devour his prey....this situation is not helped by the fact that Blofeld's 4x4 ability is not good, he can be found slowly climbing the glass only to get near to the top, lose his footing and slide back down again thus missing his lunch

 

[Bithimala]

Two new black devils! Thank you Sheldon13 No time wasted for one to go for dinner

 

[snailyfriends]

gob is such an old wrinkly snail. the blue snail is oreo. she's never seen a real oreo before!!!

 

[Pescado_Verde]

Snails plotting a coup?

 

[snailyfriends]

[Sheldon13]

[ollo]

Here is a close-up photo of my rabbit snail.
Isn't he cute?

 

[Frisbee]

Adding another photo to the awkward poses diary

He was torn between the carrot and the green bean so he decided to stay on the glass where he could reach both when he wanted.

More awkward poses, he’s trying to make it so nobody else can get his carrot

 

[Sheldon13]

Noming on the cucumber.

 

[Zeeth29]

One of my new blue ramshorn snails. I'm loving the color of these guys.

 

[Frisbee]

Just thought I would post some pics of my two youngest mystery snails (both females), I haven’t posted pics of these two for a couple months and they have grown a lot since (I got them as babies).

 

[phnx314]

I love to take photos of my mystery snails overhead! Here’s a few (well, a lot) of my black mystery snail Dusky!
I tried to get one of my ivory mystery Ford, but she’s being shy.

 

[Frisbee]

Trying blueberry today, they appear to like it!

 

[Sheldon13]

Singing Opera Oooooooo

I thought for certain that I'd already posted this here, but now I can't find it, so here goes again!

Fred the Nerite is the hardest-working member of my desktop tank at work. It took Fred only four days to completely clean all the glass before starting on the gravel, bricks and finally the surfaces of all the plants. Then he (guessing) went back to the glass and kept on going.


This photo was from Fred's third day in the tank. Nearly done!
Fred's a cleaning machine. Gives me great pleasure to see him doing his thing. (Seriously, I get the chuckles sometimes.)
