Found this little guy tootling around on the ludwigia today.
This in in my 10 day old 75gal setup. I’m thinking he rode in on the scarlet temple that was new to this tank, though surprisingly I’ve never seen any snails in the plant aquarium at our lfs (the ludwigia was moved from my 29g and had some tasty algae on it from the bloom a while back)
Of course I’m one of those “need one of every species” types. Just never enough tanks for them all I’ve got a pile of bottom dwellers in the 75 as it is, with plans of moving some to the 29g as those guys go out to the pond. It’s probably way to small to tell, but if it’s a species that’s going to overrun the tank in short order I want to nip that on the bud ASAP. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind leaving it to do it’s thing as all the fish in the tank are likely too small to bother it (if I move it to the 29g there’s one glutton in there that for sure could suck it up without any effort lol)
If I took a wild guess I’d say it’s a nerite?
