Show off your snails!

I googled "Olive Green Ramshorn Snails" and couldn't find anything that looked like what I caught. For sure they are ramshorns and I know it's not algae that is causing this coloration. They have reddish brown bodies and olive green and brown shells. They are multicolored and really cool! I just got two of them. A baby and a large adult. Hopefully the age gap won't be a problem for breeding. I will be sure to post pics when they get acclimated and are active!

that's what he looks like in shallow water. He gets darker as he goes away from the light but I'm pretty sure that's how all olive snails are.

That looks pretty olive but seems to be an underlying blue from the pic. if you took a clean toothbrush and brushed a little would some of the green come off I wonder?

I rinsed them and wiped them down and a few small algae pieces came off but it didn't take away the olive color.
