Snail photos

 

I found this little guy in my work tank this morning while doing a water change. I've had most colors of ramshorns show up in my daughter's tank at home, but I think this is my first leopard shell. I hope he continues to grow I think the spots are beautiful. He's so little. This was taken with my phone zoomed in as far as it will go...the "rocks" are Ecocomplete gravel,

for reference.

 

Just a little pond snail

Anybody else sleep while doing the splits?

 

I’m currently collecting 1-5 of each color I also have about 400 babies and 6 clutches getting ready to hatch

 

These are my 6 mystery snails. (Babies are Chloe’s and Mazikeen’s). When I tell you I was looking for Geralt... I mean I was scouring the aquarium for 15+ minutes XD

One black, two gold, two ivory, one blue.










Edit: I forgot to post the babies.. oops (the muck in there are the remains of algae wafers)

 

My rabbit is napping under the almond leaf with his face out of his shell. He is so cute.

 

Reaching for air but barely stuck on

Snail cuddles

 

I missed having snails. They're fun to try and look for.

 

Supermodel posing.

 

Check-out the Ramshorn Snail leaf surfing in the spray bar output.

 

Some of my baby snails crawling upside down on the water surface. (Idek how that’s possible).

 

 

The third pic is "family dinner after the family pet climbed on the table.

They loooove zucchini!

BTW
These are baby rabbit snails of course.
The long black cocoon looking snail hanging above is not a vampire but a black devil snail.
I prefer to call them black goat snails due to their markings and constant eating.

 

Mooly my only Trapdoor Snail is Feisty tonight.
He's a beautiful antique seafoam green.
I want to find him a mate like him.
His color may be because he's young not sure.

Too cool. Baby rabbit snail still in his egg sac on the glass.
Very small 1cm.2nd pic is point of a Bic ink pen
Okay....so maybe not.
I guess it's actually a limpet???
Some breeders say they find their baby rabbits in their egg sacs. I haven't yet so thought this was one.
It's sooo small though.
It moves just like my baby rabbits do on the glass just can't make out detail. The mouth movements are the same.

Limpets might have come from a water hyacinth I put in even though I disinfected it?

I have a video on youtube of it, but couldn't load it here.

That's actually a freshwater limpet, rather than a rabbit snail. Pretty cool little guys, here's one in my tank:


And to upload a video on here, you just need to paste the link from the video into the comment. Trying to upload them as you would a picture won't work.

 

May fifth was the two year anniversary since buying the two world’s greatest nerites, Russell and Burch! They are huge now, and still the algae warriors they were when they were young! The zebra is Russell and the tiger is Burch

 

My snails: Elton (zebra nerite), Bernie (tiger nerite), and Mr. Miyagi (golden mystery).

 

My first Orange and Yellow Mixed Rabbit Snail.
His shell is like a yellow and his facial features but definite orange hue.

The big hitchiker in the middle.
Big galloot (spelling?).

 

This is Roux.
He's a nerite.
Anybody know what they call this type?

 

A clutch of bladder snail eggs under my microscope! You can see their beady black eyes and they roll around in their egg moving their mouths. Entertainment for hours.

 

Do others sleep standing up?

 

The Raisinettes

This is how much my baby rabbits love soaked raisins

 

My black devils just hanging out

I'm going to name one Joker because of their black and white striped antenna

 

Ever seen a limpet on a snail's shell before?
Looks like a flying saucer or a rice paddy hat.

Anybody else sleep while doing the splits?

He does!

 

My rabbit snails have been extremely prolific this month, 2 sets of yellow twins and 2 new orange babies about 2 weeks apart. I’ve got one Adult yellow, one adult orange, and one adult yellow spotted hybrid? So this number of babies is quite high for me. “Baby Jail” is getting a bit crowded.

 

My new kids that are yet to be named.

 

His eyes are bigger than his stomach

"Who's that walking on my bridge?"

Found this goober on the living room floor half an hour ago, but he's fine.

 

What ya eatin' guys?

 

One of my Nerite snails perched on the air bubbler from a sponge filter, looking out over the Buce crop.

 

Check out this beast MTS after a 60-70% WC on Willards tank. ( pics to come momentarily )

 

yeah... I bought another one. Being 5 minutes away from a pet shop now isn’t helping. Snailaholics anonymous.


He’s a little tiger nerite. I need a name for him.

I’m ready for my close up!
