BettaObsessed Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 He arrived in some plants I bought about 2 years ago when he was about half the size of my little fingernail. He has lived with my goldfish ever since. I moved him into my fry tank a couple of weeks ago and apparently he didn't appreciate the move. Found him dead on the bottom tonight :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Looks like a ramshorn snail to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaObsessed Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks. Do they usually grow that big? Has anyone kept them around long enough to find out? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseFightingFist Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Curious to know why it couldn't survive the fry tank, I would've thought the water quality and living standard was higher and more stringent with fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briztoon Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've seen them the size of 10 cent piece in Fishchicks. Though in my tanks they never get larger than a 5 cent piece. My tanks are too acidic for them and they just die when they hit the 5 cent piece size. They are very good at keeping plants clean of algea, but not so good on glass. They love IAL leaves and can make short work of them and leaves a mess on the bottom of your tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
