Just ordered some snails

[Teelie]

I hope they arrive safely when I'm home. First time I've bought anything living off the internet. Only $18.00 (before shipping costs which are probably going to be $5-$10) for 3 of each of them totalling 9.

The one to the left is an Albino Pomacea bridgesi, the ones to the upper right are a blue bridgesi color morph (though bluegreen looks more like it), and the ones below are black.

My only other concern is if my 3 Spot Gourami and RTBS are going to try eating them. If so, then they'll have to all go in my 30 gallon, 5 gallon (currently uncycled ) and the 10 gallon sectioned off Betta tank I'm setting up (which I haven't even got yet).

Wow they look great. Good luck with them, hope they don't get eaten.

lol - i know what you mean... i bought 5 to spread over our tanks...

they are all in one tank now because...

I didnt risk adding to the 50gal with 4 clowns...
It turns out Black Rosey Barbs LOVE snail antenne.
Small Ladder loaches might not eat all the pest snails, but they pounced on the apples straight away

they are all in our low stocked plec tank now

and they must compete with the plecs for food, I'm sure.

I like those blue-green ones

I've got some ivory pomacea bridgesi and they are my algae eaters for both of my tanks - no plecs or ottos here...

They're fun to watch and mine haven't reproduced at all although I kinda wish they would a little

those are some awesome snails
make mine looks so boring

Yeah, the only interesting one I have is a large Golden Apple snail but he's not as uncommon as these are.
