Snail photos

My assassin, Mario. I have never seen him so completely out of his shell. He just finished eating a snail and was turning back over. Rare I get to see this. I was awesome watching him.

New rabbit snail. Also got 2 new blue mystery snails, but they are pretty small yet and tough to find in my tank so far.

 

[Mcasella]

Assorted color ramshorn (the pale yellowish thing is sera vitachips for catfish) and a pea sized purple mystery (with a cory napoensis)

One of my babies has a birth defect. It doesn’t affect him at all though.

Just found this Ramshorn in the tank today (among hundreds) with an interesting pattern.

This dude was taking advantage of the surface tension and skimming the surface all the way across the aquarium

Thought of sharing a photo of one of our oldest Nerites in the fishroom. Well over 3yrs now and always busy!

I did not know there was a snail photo forum I love snails so much

 

[BigManAquatics]

New mystery snails. I liked their shells.

Japanese trap door snails.



One of my new nerites, maybe the most unique shell of the new ones.



I think soneone was trying to get at my steak earlier.



Japanese trapdoor snails wrestling/breeding/something.



Got a snap of my new red racer nerite.

 

[GouramiGirl100]

Some of my snails recently. My bladder snail has made good friends with one of my baby rabbit snails

 

[BigManAquatics]

Newest rabbit snail not born in my tanks.



Baby rabbit snail on the move and growing.



When you're so bulky all you can do is hang out on the glass. Probably trying to ignore the babies.

Sharing the rock.

[Chailyte]

Mystery snails: ivory (small one) gold (big one)

 

[Littlebudda]

I think they like the new algae wafers

 

[magiofsnails]

how they looked when i first got them (april 17th) and now they look now a month on

purple/black: pysche (female)
ivory: eros (male)
jade: agape (female?)
chestnut: philia (unknown, likely male)

unfortunately the blue one (storge) was eaten by my turtle back when they were in my turtle tank. now they live in their own tank with a chill betta fish. they are almost as big as my index finger.

 

[GouramiGirl100]

Another rabbit snail

 

[magiofsnails]

Some of their food must have slipped underneath the cholla wood because I found 3 of them like this...



(bonus uly)

freedom!!

My zebra nerite snails I got Dec 9 2018. They are still kicking strong.

 

[PlatedLilyAquatics]

I added a second light and some new plants. New layer of top sand, too. Really happy with how the snail and cherry barb tank is going.

 

[wateriswet]

I really enjoy how gracefully mystery snails glide

 

[SkooterTrash]

Picked up this little guy yesterday. The betta has finally left him alone. Right now he's chillen behind the sponge filter.

 

[StarGirl]

Not exactly a snail photo......but its snail art!

Yes the glass is getting cleaned today....lol I think the Prazi may have helped there.

 

[magiofsnails]

[OminousHoney]

Thought I would show off my two beautiful purple mystery snails!

 

[Mermegan]

This picture I took of our King Koopa Nerite’s little face always cracks me up

 

[Mermegan]

The little faces/mouths are so funny to me. (This is our Blueberry snail, Moss)

My Giant Columbian Ramshorns. First one has an atypical shell - nearly jet black without any stripes - it is pretty unusual for this species to have a stripeless shell.

It also has a very white foot which isn’t the usual either - they’re often a very light colour but typically have some mottling. This one has no mottling on the underside.

I suspect this one is male but can’t be certain.

He’s dragging a dead stargrass leaf which makes it look like his foot is divided though it isn’t - presumably he’ll finish eating the leaf soon enough.

My other one just might be female - again, not certain of that. There is an obvious but slight outward flare to the growing edge of the shell which the other snail does not have. It seems to have a wider aperture too, characteristic of adult females compared to males.

In the P.canaliculata species a slight outward flare of the growing edge is seen in males - so it will be interesting to see if this is sexual dimorphism or not and whether I’ve got it right way round or backwards.

This one is very typical in appearance with very bold stripes and the foot is a dirty light beige with some mottling showing in the underside.

Along with the Ivory mystery snails I got 5 of these very pretty ramshorns.

The shells are colourless & very translucent & the snail inside is a darkish pink or lightish red depending on how you want to look at it.

Now I have very dark blues, reds & orange & now these delightful critters. I’m looking forward to seeing more of them.

It's been a while since I had a mystery. I've been enjoying its antics while it hangs with the pleco.

My MTS are weirdos. Yesterday it was take over the glass day and today around the same time it's snail pile day.
