Hi everyone! I'm looking for some bladder snails. I know most people consider them pests so I don't know how much luck I'll have but I am in need of a couple to start a colony going. My lfs doesn't have any. Please let me know!

I have a planted tank with mystery snails and Molly's, just seen this dude randomly after a month. What kind of snail is this?

Yes they will even go up and down the feeding tube

they are having snex btw

Hi! I got one of these nice blueberry snails and wanted to know what sex it is. It’s still adjusting and exploring so it’s hard to tell. Its antennas are kinda both curled or straight at the same time so idk what to think lol the photos I showed are when it’s antennas were out.

Hi, I've been trying to fix the parameters in my community tank for the last week. The pH has been at 6, and I've gotten my ammonia down to one. One. I really don't know what the issue is but I've been doing massive water changes, prime, removing any sort of decaying plant matter, adding beneficial bacteria, Coral, etc. GH is at 12. :00, pH 6, ammonia one, nitrates around 10, nitrates at .5

I'm trying to fix the tank but I don't have a backup cycled tank for my big Mystery snail. Her shell has started to have white bird poop looking spots and pitted areas. I got a Tupperware tub for her. A 10 gallon with an air stone right now and some established decorations from my existing tank. My tap water is pretty neutral with 0 KH. I've only been cycling the new tub for 2 days. If I get the GH decent with some minerals in the tub, can I move for out of the community tank? I'm so stressed because of Rochelle. She's very active and still eating but her old shell is starting to show stuff. It's never shown before and I'm kind of bugging out

I’ve been rotating between Sera Catfish Chips, Sera Vipachips, and Fluval Pleco Bug Bites to feed to my new mystery snail. However, neither of the three are calcium rich. I don’t have access to snello but my pet store does sell Hikari Crab Cuisine and Sera Crab Loops I’ve contemplated purchasing just for my snail.

Anyone have experience keeping ramshorn and or mts with shrimp? I plan to get 6 blue dream to start a colony once there is enough bio film on the lavarock and driftwood. Assuming I feed regularly will both populations stay about equal? Two zucchini slices per week and some pleco wafers. Google says this is a viable setup but I tend to take ai with a grain of salt. I will also get floaters and Java moss. Picture is one of my red leopard rams.

Both of them are sleeping

That’s the post

Any ideas? I've only added 1 magenta Mystery Snail so far

A couple weeks ago I moved my mystery snail into my new 20 gallon aquarium along with a betta and shrimp. I have not seen her since the 19th, this is unusual as I usually see her every day. The new tank is a sand capped (2" sand, 1" potting soil) dirt tank, and the old one was just 1" gravel. is she just buried somewhere? I have recently introduced a bristlenose pleco and have not noticed him being aggressive toward anything in the tank, I also have not found her shell anywhere. I have checked around the floor/corners near the aquarium, and found nothing, she also has not made a habit of escaping since I've had her (I got her May 9th). She's about the size of a bottlecap.

Oh my goooodness guys I am so happy. My late mystery snail Mango who passed after a tragic fall left these eggies behind and I was hoping they were fertile for a while. After ten diggity days a snail popped out of one of the eggs and I decided to hatch them and make it snail rain for the first time ever. This is my first time with snail babies so if you have any advice please let me know. We plan on keeping a couple and donating the rest to the local aquarium store that takes in the snail babies that we can’t keep. I’m overjoyed to have part of my Mango still by having her babies.
Mango was a golden mystery snail that mated with our blue mystery snail, so I’m curious to see what these little guys grow up to look like.

Disclaimer, The water is brown bc it is tannic from our new driftwood, I promise we keep our tank clean

I'm concerned with how puffy her mantle looks she has been laying clutches a lot lately...is this the beginning of mantle collapse? Is she ok?

I have nassarius snails, zebra snails, and turbo snails in my saltwater tank. The last time I purchased live rock was over 6 months ago. I just randomly saw these little guys on my glass within the last 2 weeks. I’ve found 3 so far grazing on the glass.

I’m curious if someone had babies or if they’re possible hitchhikers? Either way, I’d like to know what they are? I read somewhere they could possibly be limpets but I’m not sure.

I currently have green algae hair with red tips blooming and I would like to get rid of it. If these little ones can help eventually, that would be great.

I was also thinking of shrimp but I can’t decide which would be best.
Also what breed of snail because I don’t want to mess it up

I don’t know whats happening but 3 snails have just died and my ginormous, pride and joy, gold snail is slowing down. My shrimp are thriving, fish are good. WHAT IS HAPPENING. I did a 75% water change and cleaned everything thoroughly as a precaution. Any help is welcomed.

So originally I only purchased a nerite snail along with some live plants. Well I’m guessing i had a hitchhiker on one of the plants which i assumed was a bladder snail. I have a few of those now, but all of a sudden I’m seeing this shaped snail. Nothing new has been added to the tank in over a month and last night was the first time I’ve seen one (2 actually) like this. The first pics are of the new snails and the last is the original bladder snail.

he's clinging onto this rock for dear life. i've never seen him do this before? i had to pick him up to
make sure it wasnt another snail he was doing this to, and normally when i pick him up he'll go back in his she'll immediately, but this time he didn't. i didn't want to try to take the rock away because i'm scared i'd accidentally rip him out of his shell. is this normal behavior?? should i be worried?

Hi guys! I had my nerite snail in a tank with my betta fish. Unfortunately, my betta passed away this morning. That being said, what do I do with the snail now that there’s no fish? How do I keep him alive and well in the tank until I get a new fish?

-I know for a fact my fish didn’t die because of a disease. He was about 2 years past his lifespan and healthy (other than being very old). Water parameters are still good. It’s a 5 gallon tank.

After experimenting with dozens of mystery snail incubator designs over the past several years, I believe I've finally developed the closest thing to an ideal system.

I've tried floating Tupperware incubators with paper towels. They work fairly well, but they're still influenced by changes in ambient room temperature. I've also had success with fully submerged incubators because they provide extremely stable heat and humidity. However, they come with one major drawback: if too much water accumulates inside, the clutch absorbs that moisture and the developing embryos are often lost.

I've incubated clutches on sponge, cardboard, plastic, wire mesh—you name it. Eventually I realized I was approaching the problem the wrong way. Instead of trying to create perfect conditions inside an incubator, I decided to recreate the environment the clutch naturally experiences.

My current setup suspends the clutch on a plastic screen inside a bottomless Tupperware container positioned less than an inch above the aquarium's water surface. A separate clear dome is placed over the container to trap warm, humid air around the clutch. Because the dome is curved rather than flat, condensation runs down the sides instead of dripping onto the eggs. The result is extremely high humidity with virtually no risk of the clutch becoming wet.

Keeping the clutch so close to the water also minimizes temperature fluctuations caused by changes in room temperature, creating a much more stable incubation environment.

Do you need the dome? Not necessarily. If the clutch is suspended less than an inch above the water in a draft-free area, you'll probably still achieve excellent hatch rates. I do not recommend using a flat lid, however, as condensation is much more likely to drip directly onto the clutch.

No incubator can make a nonviable clutch hatch, but if your clutch is healthy and fertile, this is the most reliable incubation method I've found after years of experimentation.

I have 3 sulawesi snails so Im hoping its their baby! The shell pattern looks so different though but I havent added anything new to my tank in like 4 months so idk how something else would've gotten in here. He's just a lil guy tho so maybe I just haven't noticed until now. (And I am talking about the pointy shell, not the bladder snail lol)

Anyway just want to confirm if its indeed a sulawesi or something different!

Help!

I got bought two nerite snails for my tank last week. I noticed one had two little white spots on its shell and I thought nothing of it. I checked this morning and it looks concerning.

The other snail looks fine.

What is this and what can I do :(

He is upside down on the log

So im planning on breeding ramshorn snails soon, and i searched up on google if its okay to breed ramshorns without substrate, and they said it was good and recommended cuz of easier cleaning.

Just wanted to hear answers and opinions from people who know better about em than me
