DK, life...no one gets out alive.

If it wernt for old men we wouldnt have alot of the hobby awesomeness we have now.


MG, very nice, my wife thought they were assassins but no bumps and no rhino horn.(I got an all black assassin)

 

[mgamer20o0]

nope not assassins but since you brought it up.....

 

[dkpate]

Oh sweet!!! Thay look cooler than I thought they would! Are those "snorkels?"

 

[WhiteDevil]

Im not sure what that is, Its not really a snorkel since its stays under water, I think its a sensory thingy.

I'm a Salty but those are cool snails. Maybe that's a sting? Cone Snails have an appendage like that that delivers a wicked sting that packs neurotoxins that kill you no worries.

 

[dkpate]

LOL, I doubt it's a stinger. This is freshwater remember? HAHA!

 

[Mitchell0605]

Sorry, no nasty killers in the freshwaters.

 

[mgamer20o0]

it is a nasty killer lol thus the name assassin snail lol they stab the other snail and inject neurotoxins and enzymes that start to break down the flesh.

 

[Mitchell0605]

I was right. It did look a lot like the Cone Snail's stinger.

Its them the ones I asked about almost a year ago haha

 

[dkpate]

WHAT?!?!?! Are they gonna destroy my flesh if I put my hand in the tank?!?! I am freaking out now.

 

[Mitchell0605]

Yesh they will inject you and turn your hand into shapeless mush... Mwhuaahahahahaha Jokes. I would avoid being stung.

 

[dkpate]

This is no good, no good at all.... I have my hand in there all the time.
