ID please: Freshwater limpet? If I leave it will numbers explode? It’s really cute!

New growth seems to have less black color, also the tip of the shell doesn't look too good. Is this some nutrient deficiency?

This is Gary my new mystery snail

I've noticed this dark coloring for about 2-3 days now. I thought it's stored up poop that's making its way out but it seems like a lot. Is that it or should I be worried?

Any advice on breeding these guys?

My nerite has barely been moving for a week now, is something wrong? The foot looks really wrinkled. The antennae will come out every once in a while and wiggle and he will react and hide inside if touched so he’s mostly alive, but he doesn’t move along the tank anymore.

Considering a Nerite Snail but I need more info

Considering a Nerite Snail but I need more info

Hello, I'm considering getting a Nerite Snail but I've some questions to ask in regard to my setup. The only snail I can get from my LFS is Nerite Snail so that'll be the only option. I also plan to get one only. Its tankmate would be my Betta fish -- Crimson Blue.

1) Is the openings of this lid too wide for the snail to escape? I can make some adjustment since it's a DIY lid.

2) Is the size of these pebbles fine for the snail?

3) I've heard that snail poops a lot, and that Nerite Snail has less poop than the rest. However, is the poop visible on the colour of my pebbles and the half bare bottom surface? Will it be easy to be vacuumed?

4) I've heard that Nerite Snail is infamous for the difficulty in telling their sex, their eggs being laid everywhere and they are difficult to be scalped, is there anyway to make the snail to lay eggs in one spot only? Otherwise what's useful to scalp them off?

5) Can I feed the Nerite Snail with blanched cucumber only? Or I should get some algae wafer? Or a mix of two is better? There is no algae growing in my tank (yet) aside from some white specks on the bottom.

Question 3) and 4) are probably the dealbreaker factors for me.

Thank you!

How long does it take after adding calcium into the tank for their shells to grow healthier?

Posted: 21 Sep 2020 06:18 PM PDT

I bought a snail from PetSmart who has a lot of white discoloration so I put a piece (a size of a dime) of cuttlebone. It's been a week, but just wondering how long does it take for their shells to grow to a healthier state?

His antenna are kinda curled up but he has something else sticking out to his left. Does anyone know what it is? It's only sticking out to that side

ID anyone? Came with some live plants two weeks ago but as a beginner I’m scared I should have taken them out earlier...

Most humane way to kill pest snails in tank?

Posted: 21 Sep 2020 07:15 AM PDT

I had hitchhikers come with a plant and they're taking over my tank. I can't sell them or give them away. Is freezing them okay,or would they feel it? Should I just use clove oil?
