Found A Snail In The Betta Tank!

[three-fingers]

Also, these snails cant eat the Elodea (really Egeria densa) unless it's already dying and the leaves are mushy, so if your Elodea vanishes don't blame the snail.

With these guys and the ramshorns you need more than one to breed, but it's unlikely this little one hasn't bred already so you will be seeing more snails unless the betta eats them .

No bad thing unless you don't like snails.

Oh just to mention on the Elodea, mine had overnight distinegrated this morning. So just to back up three-fingers! (have to say mine was not terribly healthy to begin with )

The elodea seems pretty good, i think shimmer ate the snail in the night, its not there now i cant see it anywhere, it might appear but i think its been eaten.

Is there a lid on the tank -could it have escaped?!

Found it! yes theres a lid, i couldnt find it and then it was randomly on the elodea now i cant see it, so weird!
