He was almost 3 years old. Always made so much eye contact with me, which was special. A leaf-diving acrobat and dancer. Here he is, on the left, doing an antennae pas de deux with Pebble (and Bloom photobombing). Miss you, my friend. ❤️

Help You guys in this Reddit are probably sick of being asked to identify a snail - I’m sorry to add to another one

Is this a ramshorn or something else? I found this one after putting in floaters so definitely is a hitchhiker.

(Need to get a new magnetic cleaner since it doesn’t scrape off all the algae cleaner, although the baby snail is happily munching it up)

Help Rabbit snail question

Hi everyone, I started with two adult orange rabbit snails and they have reproduced three more orange rabbit snails. This morning I found a new rabbit snail with a light shell and dark foot (see pic). Do rabbits produce variants like some of the other snails? If so, how cool!

Help Best algae eating snail

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for an algae eating snail that is plant safe, won't reproduce or lay eggs if it's kept on its own and won't attempt to escape the tank.

I've narrowed it down to white wizards and pagoda snails. Just wanted to know how people have found these snails when it comes to eating soft algae from the glass?

Or if there are any other snails that would work?

Help Why do my snails keep dying?

Post image
Upvotes

So I recently switched my tank over to planted and since then I just cannot keep a snail alive. I used to have just the basic gravel and silk plants, with a cave, and a betta and a couple snails. After my last betta died and I was down to one Nerite snail I decided to revamp my set up to a planted tank, something I’ve always wanted.

That’s when things went sideways. My Nerite died (she was pretty old though) and I bought a gold Inca that immediately died upon introduction. I thought it was because I cleaned out the sponge filter too much when I upgraded so I waited a month to let the tank cycle before trying again. All my water tests are great so last week I went and bought another gold Inca and a rabbit. That Inca died immediately again, and now I think the rabbit is dead too. It went up on the side for one day and then fell back to the floor and only poked out of the shell a little and is now completely closed in. I put a piece of food right in front of it hoping it would perk up but nothing. What am I doing wrong? Also I’ve noticed the plants in the back are getting black spots.

For reference, it’s a 5 gallon tank with a sponge filter and a heater. I just checked and I think the heater has been set too high. It’s hard to read the numbers by the dial and my thermometer that floats around has been in the green.

I’m just at a loss about what to do at this point. Any helpful advice is super appreciated.
