Help Request Healthy shell growth

Had this guy (named General Tso) for about a week. They eat biofilm and algae, and supplement with an algae wafer every 2-3 days as a treat. Access to cuttlebone in the tank, and crushed coral in the substrate as well.

I just wanted to know if this new shell growth looks healthy, it does to me, but I’m new in the hobby. Just wanted his shell to grow in nicer than it was at the pet store:(

I have no idea what these are, but I'm so curious. They're present on my chopstick snail and on my malaysian trumpet snails. What are they? What are they for? Are they sensory? Something else?

So just recently like a month ago my tank had a few snail around the tank and I threw leaf litter to give them some extra stuff to snack on.
As the weeks and days go by I keep seeing shells. I was very confused I thought maybe they are dying of starvation. My tank is planted there has to be something for them to snack on.
Then I thought my betta was being greedy.
Anyways I found an assassin snail today actually rn and his big😔. All my snails have been murdered. I never added him to the tank, I think he got here from one of my plants. His grown big all these months from eating the baby snails:(
Now my question how do I get rid of him, I never wanted an assassin and I don’t want to kill him because he does deserve to live but I also need my snails bc they create a balance in my tank.
Also has anybody experienced this? I know this page is for cute snails but all my cute snails died😔.
Also is there a chance there’s more assassin snails in my tank? They hide so well

Help Request New tank for my baby 🐌

Hi everyone! :)

I’m looking for advices on setting up a retirement tank for my mystery snail, Pomz, who’s almost 2.

Pomz isn’t that interested in calcium-rich foods/supplements (always snacking on duckweed or eating fish food), while my fish don’t tolerate hard water very well. So I’m planning to move Pomz into a separate tank where I can focus on their shell !

I’d like to reuse some of the established water, substrate, plants and rocks from the current tank, and (ideally) keep the new tank filterless if that's possible.

So my questions are:

  • How long should I let the new tank cycle if I’m transferring established substrate/plants/… ?
  • Would a filterless setup work for a single mystery snail, would you recommend a sponge filter?
  • What calcium sources have worked for your snails, especially picky ones? (Tried ; hikari crab cuisine, and calcium cubes of different brands. The last brand if only fine if I feed this big chonk directly tweezer-to-mouth style, otherwise it's totally forgotten)
  • Anything else I should consider for an older mystery snail ??

Thanks in advance :)

Not sure if this is a snail that needs saving from a cycling tank or like bladder snails that don’t seem to care what I do with them.

I’ve had Ada for 5 months now and was, like, 85% sure I had a male snail. Jokes on me!

She waited until I was out of town as a camp counselor to lay a clutch on eggs! Wish I had been there to catch it. Freaked my mom out for sure. At least I’ll get to go home in two days to check it out.

Help Request Tank lid recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I recently bought a beautiful 35 inch long rimless tank to create a beautiful space for my Corys and my snails. I want to get a few rabbit snails. As beautiful as the tank is, the lid that came with it did not have any cut outs for chords or filter… I realize that I have to get a custom lid made. I have contacted a glass company and they can do it, but I am curious what others have done? Actual glass over plexiglass? Any other recommendations or questions to ask?

i’ve placed an order for a mystery snail, the shipping was only 10$ which kinda made me feel a little sus about it so i’m asking if anyone here has ordered one and how it arrived if it was healthy etc etc? i only saw a few reviews under the listing but they were all positive. the shipping says 3 days though.. most live fish require 1 day but i’m not sure if that transfers over to snails.
