They just appeared. First there was one but now i see five. Since I have live plants in my tank so I am afraid...

    FORGOT WATER CONDITIONER

    Hi there, Iā€™m new to the forum to ask advice on what the outcome of my HUGE mistake might be. Iā€™ve had my ten gallon tank for a year now and have 4 platys and 3 snails in it. Iā€™ve been told by the people at my local fish store that this isnā€™t an overloaded tank as long as I keep on top of tank...

    Ramshorn Snail Not Moving Location

    I bought 3 red ramshorn snails 2 days ago, and I have noticed that they come out of their shell and twist in turn in the water, but they do not leave the spot they are in. They were drip acclimated into the tank and seemed fine for the first few hours. After that, they would "squirm" upside down...

    Hello

    Hello recently purchased an Apple snail for a 5 gallon aquarium and today about a week later after I purchased the snail I found baby snails in the tank ? They baby snails look dark and black was wondering are they the same species of snail or a parasite?

    Can a sick fish infect snails?

    I'm thinking of putting a snail or two in my second tank which I use to hold sick, injured, or pregnant fish. Is it fine to add some snails to clean up a bit even if I have a sick fish in there?

    Looking for a snail expert

    So hello everyone, I'm new here and was hoping I could find someone to answer a question for me. I recently bought a couple new snails out of a tank labeled "black racer snails" One of them is obviously a black racer but the other is about the same size but the shell looks like a rock. It is...

    Is this a healthy environment for a snail?

    Hi, So recently I ventured in making a cute little tank for decoration purposes. I wasn't planning on putting anything in there like fish, however I was recently thinking of adding a snail. Although I was wondering if it was a valid environment, not having a filter or heater and it only being...

    Mystery Snail Shell Growth Issue?

    Hello, I bought a mystery snail a few months back, put him in my community tank with an Angelfish. The angel left him alone at first, but then started picking on him. As a result, the snail's shell has grown down over his "face", and his tentacles are a lot shorter. I've moved him, and put him...

    Greetings from Illinois

    hi! i am Lyuba and i am new to fishkeeping. Well, several years ago I had tiny tank with betta fish, which survived a lot (never did any cycling or dechlorinated water). Currently cycling my new 10 gallon tank with One & Only. I would like to have one betta and a couple smaller fishes (looking...

    What kind of snail is this--and how did he get here?

    Hi all, I'm new to this website, so I'm sorry if I make any posting etiquette mistakes or anything like that. But essentially, I don't know much about snails and I'm pretty baffled as to how this tiny guy got in my tank. I got three Nerite snails about 3 months ago to keep my betta company. The...

    Snail eggs ???

    Hi, Are these pictures below snail eggs? I was sure they were until I noticed the colour, they are almost a transparent orange in colour with small black dots, not clear with white dots which is what is showing online. Thankyou

    Snail/Shrimp Colony

    I am currently running a 16 gallon tank with a Fluval C3. I've always wanted an invert tank but have never actually gotten around to setting one up. I was thinking about breeding snails (pond snails, mystery, ramshorn, etc.) as well as cherry shrimp to raise as live food for my fish in the 55...

    Simplest way to take care of apple snail's eggs

    Hello there! I found a little surprise tonight when I got back from work. My little invertebrates made three "nests". I didn't notice before. One seems a little more white than the two others (the second picture) but they are pretty pink/red-ish. Sorry for the poor light, it is dark when I...

    is this normal for a nerite snail shell?

    I've had him for about 7/8 months. He's always active and pooping. He's grown a lot since I got him. Is the weird (not in matching with his other stripes) part of his shell new growth? Or is something wrong with him? When I first got him I was having issues with my water being too soft...

    nerite snail dying?

    I've had a nerite for three or four months now, and a few days ago I found it upside down on the bottom of the tank. I gave it a sniff, it was alive. Anyways, I placed it on top of a decoration a few days ago, and it hasn't moved since then. I pulled it out of the tank today. It smells more...

    Mystery snail not moving

    my mystery snail has just been sitting around, mainly closed up, for days. He does move around maybe an inch or two at most every couple days or so. Mostly he just stays closed up and opens up just enough to see a little of his body every little bit through the day. I'm not sure if this is...

    Snail ID

    I've just spotted this baby snail in my tank. I have no idea what it is. I have pest pond and rams horn snails but it's definitely not one of those. I put some assassin snails in less than 2 weeks ago so it's not one of those either. It has a long, conical shell. It's 'upright' sort of...

    One Mystery Snail Growing But The Other Isn't.

    I have a gold mystery snail in with one neon tetra, the others died, one Glofish, and an albino Cory. It has gotten quite a bit bigger since I got it, but my sister has a black mystery snail in with her betta and it is still very small. Her betta is a bit aggressive but he hasn't really been...
