Id this snail please

[ptran]

I believe I got some snail eggs from the moss I bought recently. They multiply fast. I see about 10 of them now at about 1/2".

Who is this guy? Is he a threat?



Thanks.

Pond snails : wait a week and you will have a tank full of Em.

[ptran]

He looks kind of cool so I will leave him alone for now.

If you ever want to get rid of them let me know.

[ptran]

Okay will let you know in a week if they invade my tank.

Looks like a Ramshorn to me, but would need a pic from a different angle. Pond, Bladder, Ramshorn, and MTS are always hitchhiking in on live plants. Assassin snails are quite effective against them, but take awhile to get them under control if left to breed for awhile.

Thanks. I google Ramshorn, and there are ton of pic looking like this guy in my tank. Except this guy has pokey dot on the shell.

Leopard spotted ramshorn

Nice. The spots on my ramshorn disappear as they mature.

Interesting. I have brown and pink ramshorns but they stay pretty much the same as they grow.

I prefer them to stay pokey dots though. LOL
