snail

I've had two nerite snails for over a year now, they're great at their job. No problems. I'm concerned that one has recently developed this white rim between it's shell and body. Do I need to be concerned?! I've attached a couple of photos. Nothing has changed in the tank. Levels appear fine...

Yesterday I found a baby snail in a tank ... a fry grow out tank in my kitchen. This tank was established with everything out of my main tank no worries done it before , no new plants wood rocks all from my tank .. with no snails . How is it possible , I can’t show a photo as I was disgusted by...

So I was browsing the marketplace yesterday and came upon an ad for free fish tanks. I, of course, hopped on it. Just got home after picking it up and setting it up. It turns out, she still had the fish, but would have no tanknonce I left with the last one. She offered the fish as well. I...

So this is probably a bit morbid but I use my dead snails as a decoration in my tank. I love snail shells so if one happens to die I clean it out and put the shell back into my tank. Am I alone in this?

Hey y’all! I’m Jon, and I’m new to the fish scene. Ive had all of my fish for 3 months now. They all get along well, and all are thriving. I was cleaning my tank today and I found this right above the surface, hanging from the middle part. I have a 55 gallon tank and here are my fish: 1 red...

Hey you guys! So, my tank is home to several snails. I bought floating plants a month ago and I believe they brought pest snails with them. I am extremely upset and out of options when it comes to disposing of them. I seriously have an endless amount, 2-3 dozen of these guys and they just keep...

Can anyone tell me what types of snails are these? Suspect that they hitchhiked into my tank through the plants. I have no problems with them. However, there has been a recent ammonia spike. I suspect that the snails (I had no clues if they are still alive or not) have something to do with it...

my snail (believe it is mystery snail) is not being active or suctioning to anything. I woke up this morning and found him floating in the tank, with his body out. He was still moving around. This afternoon he is on the bottom, still with his body out, still looks alive but I’m not sure. The...

I wasn’t really sure where to post this, but I just found some white worm-looking creatures on the glass of my 10 gallon. I’m not sure whether or not I should be concerned, but I thought I would ask if anyone is able to identify them anyway. An image has been attached, it’s the best one I could...

I have a 300L freshwater which is inundated with trumpet snails. I have done some quick maths and the bottom of my tank is about 5000 sq CM. In any one 25 sq CM patch I can see (this obviously doesn’t account for those under the sand) about 25 snails average. So that means about 5000 trumpet...

So I got an assassin snail a while ago and kept thinking it was dead because I didn't know they would hibernate. I went away for the weekend and he hasn't moved expect it kinda looks like he is out of shell? Ft Tony, hes an attention hog lmao

I have a tank with endlers and cherry shrimp, all was fine until I bought a new plant and it must have come with a free hitchhiking snail. I know snails can be beneficial in tanks so I let it stay not realising they don't need another male/female to breed so I woke up to a load of baby snails...

My mystery snails have made babies. I have seen 2 babies but there might be more. I never saw the egg clutch and I was checking every day to avoid this. Could they lay the clutch on the underside of my lid? I never thought to check there, only checked the sides of my tank. What can I do to get...

Hi, I have a 55 gallon aquarium that's been cycled for a month or so at least. No fish in it at the moment but a while ago a fish died and I couldn't find it so I couldn't take it out of the tank. Now I have - brown algea looking stuff on my rocks and plants - Some dark green or black algea...

I have a platy that has some sort of internal parasite. I was given the medication to treat it but I was told not to use it if I had scaleless fish. I asked if it was ok for the mystery snail and they said they weren't sure. I have Titan Green Water Purifier Parasites and Fungus. Should I remove...

Hi guys. My brown mystery snail, Ajay, has changed color rather drastically since I got him. He used to be just a dark brown but now he has distinct streaks of dark brown, light brown, and black. Is this normal while they mature or could it be an issue of my water? My water is on the softer...

Hey everyone! My name is Leah & my snails name is Harold, he has a cleft shell and it's pretty serious. (I bought him like this btw) I was wondering if there's anything I can do for this little guy. He also cannot fully retract into his shell because it's so severe. What I'm doing right now is...

I just wanted to share this picture of my snail. I thought it looked pretty interesting. Snails are weird little guys. And he is alive, saw him moving around not long after I took this. He just wanted a rest lol

Sorry for the awful picture but its VERY small. Ive noticed a couple now since adding more live plants to my tank (my bad for not cleaning them well enough). What kind of snail is this and is it considered a pest? Id hate to end the life of an innocent snail but I dont want them to end the life...

Hi there! I have had a 3 1/2 gallon tank and a betta for about 4 months now. Just last month I switched out his fake plants with real ones, and also brought a new inca snail as a new addition to the tank to help keep things looking nice. Just tonight, I noticed this tiny little brown snail...
