this is pumpkin spice. they're an old bun. they seem to have a fascination with small snails and love to sleep. I think they kind of adopted late bunny's babies because I see them cuddling sometimes.

This is my Golden Mystery Snail, Precious. I named her after the One Ring of Power, got her freshman year of college and I'm on my 2nd year...and she's still with me!

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, spotted ramshorn1.jpgspotted ramshorn2.jpgfor reference.

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.

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?

Too cool. Baby rabbit snail still in his egg sac on the glass.
Very small 1cm.
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!

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?).

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.

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

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.
