First 10 gallon tank.

As many if you know. It takes a while to get all the nice decor in your tank due to the fact it is expensive! I just got this on thursday. The occupiers of this tank are 9 snailies. <3 6-black mystery (wild) 2- gold 1-no idea. The second pic is the one i am not sure about. maybe someone can help me figure it out.

I'm glad you took the goldfish back! The second pictures looks like an apple snail to me.

 

[maddybrat]

I think it is an apple snail But my question is what kind? There is much variety in the apple snail family. Also I am almost positive that it is only about maybe 3 weeks?? I got it at the pet store and they gave it to me for free because of how small it was.

It looks like a ram horn snail

 

[maddybrat]

A wha ?

 

[Justin83]

A rams horn snail (pond snail) I belive

 

[maddybrat]

I think so too. That thing is awake and moving all the time! Its always climbing on something lol.

It's a ramshorn but ramshorn and pond snails are different. Pond snails art aka bladder snails and have a conical shell that opens to the left.

That looks too "flat" to be an apple snail to me. But once they get big (my golden apple is the size of a large tangerine), your tank is going to be too small. I think they need at least 2.5 gal per snail. I love the golden apples. I've been having trouble finding them. A few weeks ago I went to a lfs and they had one apple. It was light colored but covered in algae. I asked if it was a golden apple and I guess he was just looking to make a sale and he told me it was. Got it home and scrubbed it and its just a light colored striped apple. Bummer and do I feel dumb!

Good job taking the goldies back. Did the store give you any trouble?

 

[maddybrat]

No. They were sick and went back the next day and they told me that the fish died.

 

[BeavisMom62]

oh, bummer. Sorry to hear that.

Also what's a slider please tell me you don't mean a turtle

 

[maddybrat]

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

bettas like the warmer water mid to high 70's you mght want to invest in one also he may go after guppy because of the flowing fins

 

[maddybrat]

Well you see.. Here is what happened..
My sisters tank ::: 1beta 1fancy 6 sliders
My tank.... 9 snails..
The beta tries to eat the snails so they cant be together.
So I let her have all of the snails and I took the beta the guppy and a slider...

 

[maddybrat]

Also the beta has never tried to eat the guppy. They have live together a long time.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]
