r/AquaticSnails

I‘ve only had one tank for a long time, now I have a jar of snails and plants I’m trying to grow out. Has multiple tank syndrome finally claimed me?? 😟

I came across this snail on my water hyacinths. I was sure it was a bladder snail or pond snail but took a closer look and saw those huge eyeballs on its antennae. Any ideas?

Found it on top of my water wisteria and thought its shell looked different from the others I see in the pond.

This is my boy Dudley. I’ve had him for around 1.5 years and he’s an awesome dude. Unfortunately I woke up this morning to find that his mantle had collapsed, presumably because he’s getting quite old. At this point I’m just not sure what to do in terms of keeping him comfortable since I know this is fatal. Is euthanasia recommended over letting them die on their own? Any tips for keeping him comfortable would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Please redirect me if this isn’t a good place to ask, but I’ve been searching many places already and can’t find ramshorn snails for sale. Is anyone in the central Ohio area and selling/giving away ramshorn snails? Please comment or message me. I would love to get or buy a few 🥺

I really don't have any idea which snail is this, bought it as nerite snail but shop keeper gave me wrong one. Looks good though.

Found this little guy last night. I belive he's a juvenile ramshorn snail.

Possibly 4-6 weeks old.

Would just like to confirm and get suggestions for a calcium suppliment.

I already have hard water and research showed a cuttlebone could increase that slowly and I'd like to not do that.

Thank you!

I’m so new to mystery snails, and I feel so maternal towards my new little purple mystery snails. I am aware they are sensitive to changes in water quality and tempature but I have done several water tests, and heat checks and everything is perfect. They are also properly fed. I have found them both together twice now on my kitchen counter wayyy out of the tank. I don’t know what’s wrong, are they just trying to breed? Or should I be concerned?! I’ve been trying to figure out ways to cover the lid so this stops happening. I’m scared they’ll dry out or I won’t find them next time it happens. Pleaaase help :(….

Don’t have a picture of the responsible snail. They are incredibly fast for snails though. I was wondering if these little white clusters are eggs or if not what they could possibly be?

Absolutely my favorite 🤩

All 3 snails are making a snail centipede??? Is it bad??? Should I break them up???

Threw some dying plant leaves into a 5 gal bucket with old tank water, now there's several of these little guys who must have hatched. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them now.

So this guy decided to get out of the tank. Went to bed and heard a thud on the floor and didnt think anything of it because I was super tired. Next morning I walked in to get ready for work and I found this guy on the floor. He had been there for about 6 hours. Well I put him back in the tank and he seems to be fine for the most part but seems he cant move around. He'll come out of his shell like pictured but seems he cant fully extend his little trap door. Is he a dead man walking or is there something I can do to help him?

Edit-Its been 3 days since I put him back in the tank.

I just wanted to share my first snail baby. Can't get over how cute it is! I believe it was born mid-May, not long after I received my white wizard snails. I have been providing them with spirulina, calcium blocks and snowflake pellets – but I was wondering if there is anything else I can use to support health and growth? Also, are the tentacles indicative of gender at this age? I know that females will have two straight tentacles and the males will have one curled, one straight. Can this baby be confirmed as a female? Or is it too early to say?

I bought two fresh water snails to my aquarium. The looked horrible in the store so I took them. They look much better since I have them but still not too good.
Besides them I have 3 goldfish, no plants (because they destroyed them all) but a lot of places to hide.
Fish don’t bother them at all.
What to do to help them improve their sheels? What are you feeding them?

Hi! we turned on our fish light today and was surprised by this little guy. Can i get an ID. We did not buy him on purpose, unsure if he was an egg in a live plants or how her spawned in our tank. Any information on being snail parents is appreciated.

Currently setting up a couple tanks to take a swing at breeding amanos. Would like to try breed some beautiful nerites since I’ll have cycled brackish/salt water tanks.
