This is how big they are when they’re born. The purple was only an hour old when I took that pic. IMG_2971.JPGIMG_3044.JPG

Snail balloons! Our gourami was making bubble nests and I think this guy got caught up in them.

Some of our baby snails like to float upside down and ride the currents from the filters. I promise they are alive and are not dead or dying. Love mystery snails. They have hilarious personalities!

So I got a new mystery snail today because I miss having one (I've unfortunately lost a few to different reasons). I actually got a black one this time. Usually the black ones are just a solid, boring, dark color. The ones today however had nice stripes! This one also only had a minor little chip of it's shell. Here' some pictures to show the stripes and that nice contrasting white spiral.

I just saw one of my mystery snails bumble across the bottom of the tank, become startled at the sinking pellet it found, and now he's chowing down on it like Gollum would over a ringIMG_20180505_172503_871.jpg
 
Heres one of my mystery snails headed to the top of the tank to take a breath. I don't seem them do this very often.20180429_002405.jpg 20180429_002405.jpg

This little guy hitched a ride from one side of the tank to the other on one of the bigger snails. 20180513_140340.jpg20180513_142721.jpg

Became a proud mommy of four mystery snails today. This little guy is playing in the spinach leaves ️20180518_215936.jpg
 
these are my mystery snails, pinkie and snaily. pinkie is the little golden one and snaily is the brown one. snaily was my first snail, I thought he might be lonely so I got pinkie as a friend. I had a baby one who looked like pinkie but smaller, named peaches, but sadly she passed away. when I first got them I thought they would be like bugs but they're more like very tiny and shy dogs. my only two problems with them overall are that they poo a lot and can't hear me when I tell them I love them.

Trying to get a pic of the Baby Rabbit snail, unable to get a focused shot but here is a Mystery in the Shrimp Tank.

569802e82ae2b84bb7a6c92f3a727b2b.jpg Here’s a picture of my mystery snail, Gary! He’s almost 3inches in diameter now and is the star of my tank lol he’s quick and all over the place. I’ve had him for about 6 months now
 
So I come home after a rough day, and who do I find taunting me in my filter box?!

This is the same snail who I found about ten feet away from the tank, trapdoor shut and drying himself out about a week ago. >

He’s doing okay now.

this snail has a lot of character. he likes to lick the other snails (even the babies), has no concept of personal space, scares me by looking hurt, and does....whatever this is.

This is Hans, my mystery snail, defending his Algae wafers from fish poachers (pun intended). There was a super cute minute where it actually looked like he was holding onto the wafer for dear life, but I couldn't get my camera in time.

Snail pile!!!
I got ramshorns and mysterys. Maybe even some pond snails and mts. Kinda hard to tell. Was rearranging the tank so they are all kinda mad at me right now. 428d908ad9285415f5b3b4cd64934319.jpg

I have 2 mystery, 3 nerite and some hitchhiked trumpets that I have just discovered... But I saw this today and now have to lower my water level and build something for the mystery snail female to lay eggs... I have a feeling that they were mating.

Just got a couple of these black Japanese Trapdoor snails (Viviparis malleatus) from a koi and goldfish dealer. They’re a temperate species and are also live-bearers.
I tossed them in the pond. Hopefully I have both male and female sexes, so I can come by and harvest the babies to sell by winter.

They even organise rodeos now and then


DoubleDutch - I wish my assassins spent as much time above the sand as yours seem to. The only reason I know mine are still alive is the ever growing accumulation of empty bladder snail shells.
