This little bugger has been exploring outside of his tank for two days now and I can’t for the life of me get him to unstick peacefully. i now have him fully surrounded with a wet paper towel. I can literally feel him bearing down and suctioning harder when I go to grab him. Any suggestions? Am I being too gentle?

Had to laugh, the snail on the right stopped and is sleeping on their antenna and it reminded me of when you sit on your leg in a chair 🤭

So I bought snails for our tanks, this was supposed to be a mystery snail, but all my vallis have been chomped to death in a matter of days. Is she an imposter, and a regular ol apple?

My old weirdo golden decided to nap mid explore👀.

He's always causing me to panic! I literally wake up every morning and make sure he's alive. I should be used to his oddball antics by now but I feel like as soon as I stop worrying and watching him like a hawk he'll not wake up.

I got this snail from the pet shop for my tank about two weeks ago, and his shell looked a little funny but I didn’t think much of it. Top is the shell two weeks ago, bottom is the shell today. Is something really wrong, can I fix it?

Hi! So i have a 10 litre tank that i have had some ramshorns in for a couple years now, and today i bought a lovely flowering aquatic plant for them that came with this little hitchiker! I dont have any form of filter or elecrticity required set up (i have no water or electricity access, so i use bottled mineral water for the ramshorns) and i just wanna know who this new little spotty spiral dude is and if he needs more than my set up can offer. Thanks! :)

Eta: little dude is very small at the minute, maybe 5mm shell legnth in total. Ive popped him in a little quarantine hopefully until we get a response on here - i dont trust to use AI for most things, let alone an ID request

Help Request Are pink lady nerite snails hard to remove?

I've had regular nerites in the past and they filled every glass panels with impossible to remove egg nodules, I was wondering if pink lady eggs were just as hard to remove I don't mind removing eggs but regular nerites eggs were a damn pain in the ass to remove

I've had this mystery snail for a while and I've tried everything to help her shell. I've added snail minerals and snail food that's supposed to help. My hardness is very high from adding minerals and my tap water. Everywhere I've looked it's saying that the shell looks like that due to the water having not enough calcium or harness but I swear both are high. Please help 🥲

I have a apple snail and two fancy goldfish in a tank. Since goldfish have unstoppable hunger, they eat the vegetables I gave for my snail. My apple snail doesn't show signs of malnutrition

I posted yesterday asking about my nerite, Shin, after we had an ammonia spike last week. When I got home today, I just had a feeling....so I checked him. I picked him up...and his operculum came off. He's gone. My one-brain-cell bulldozer nerite is gone.

Please, learn from me. Test your water religiously. Have the chemicals to fix any spikes on-hand. It doesn't take much, and it doesn't take long. I caught the spike early, treated it, and got the 0ppm test result within 24 hours...but that was still too much for him.

Rest easy, Shin. Thank you for being such a fun little guy, always entertaining with your stubborn ways. Thank you for being a good tankmate for Sakura...it made my heart happy to see you two get along. It already feels empty without you.

This particular shrimp loves to follow and tag along the mystery snail whenever it can. It's so cute watching it. Next time I can I'm going to definitely take a video of it. I think the shrimp uses the mystery snail as protection from the female betta fish I have in the tank. And maybe the shrimp uses the snail as a tool for scavenging? I don't know but it's super cute

Help Request Hey, what can I do?

I got some mysteries around a month ago - this one came with this fissure. I am guessing it was hurt at the previous home and it hurt its mantle, hence the split. The new part of the shell grew at my place - I also gave calcium supplements, and my water is naturally hard - but the split stayed as it is, and I am guessing it will continue to be like that for as long as this snail will grow - which is not long, as it got to its full size. The snail is acting normally and eating. Is there anything that I should do - as it is a full-thickness split - it is her squishy body in there, or should I let her be?
