This fella is helping me with cleaning the residues of my guppy tank. At the moment I have several guppy breeding tanks and I rescued this bud from a community tank. I was wondering, is there a chance for him to breed? What’s the best thing to provide him for it? How does the snail breeding process looks like?

Thanks in advance, community!

I’m new to snails and this little guy hitchhiked when I bought a mystery snail. It’s about the size of a bladder snail but not sure if that’s what he is.

The darker blue part of his shell has been spreading and I’m wondering if it’s just him growing? Is the crack normal? And the blue part of the shell has some white spots too?

Got these bladder snails for free from pet smart 💀 I have them in a quarantine jug rn and am really confused to what’s on their shells. I’ll try to post a vid of it in the comments as well. I havnt seen any movement from it but it’s super hard to see cause of how small they are 😭😭

Help Request Feeding Frequency?

2 Upvotes

How long can a mystery snail comfortably go without food and resorting to chewing on live plants? I’ve been feeding mine at least once or twice every single day and have considered cutting down due to excessive waste production.

Are mystery snails like fish in general where it can be fine being fasted for a few days without food? Is 1-2 days of no feeding okay?

Help Request Weird stuff in mystery snail mucus

Hi guys! I noticed today that my little mystery snail left some pinkish debris in his mucus on the wall of my tank which I’ve never seen before. I’ve had him almost 6 years so I know he’s on the older side but I was wondering if this was any known issue I could remedy. He currently lives by himself but has lived with various other fish during his life. His water specs are as follows:
PH: 7.6
Temp: 80*
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 10
I’ve seen some information about air baths but he has a large amount of space at the top of the tank where he can more than fully leave the water and I see him fully out of the water often so I doubt he has a lack of oxygen but I’m open to any advice!

Thank you all so much for any help with this!

Help Request Is my snail sick?

I got this ramshorn snail along with another one yesterday and both were moving around exploring the tank for an hour after I put them in. But after a bit, this one started staying in one place and barely moving with its shell on the side for over 12 hours. And later I pushed the shell upright to see if it was still alive. And now its finally moving but it dragging its wheel around on its side as seen in the photo. Is it sick or dying?

Help Request Best snello recipie specifically for mystery snails

2 Upvotes

I got a packet of plain gelatin. Anyone have a recipie for me to spoil my baby (and soon to have more babies) with? I'm always so worried about her health after the incident a few weeks ago and her mysterious illness and want her to feast like a god. She seems exceptionally fond of kale now as I've discovered.

Where the eggshell is now, his mantle was visible. The previous crack was from shipping.

Apologies for the worst photos of all time, but this guy is tiny. Likely hitchhiked in on some new plants.
