Snail id

Really pretty snail. I think it came in on my driftwood.

Looks like a pond snail.

Yup, pond snail. If you don't want hundreds of them, smoosh it.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Crap. Is it asexual?

 

[adadkins1]

Yes, and they breed like rabbits, especially if you have any leftover food in the bottom of the tank that it can chow down on.

 

[siva]

Well, technically they are hermaphroditic, but yes, only takes one to reproduce.

 

[mfdrookie516]

If you don't overfeed, they won't get out of hand. You'll have a few, but not thousands. I like them, have them in every tank.

 

[siva]

I don't overfeed. My MTS and ramshorn populations stay in-check. Pond snail populations have still blown up for me in some tanks. JME.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

It's so pretty...

 

[siva]

No harm in keeping them around if you like them!

 

[NoMoreGoldFish]

It doesn't look like a pond snail, it looks like a bladder snail. Which way is its shell pointing? To the left or to the right?

 

[SwimsWithFish]

If your looking at the shell, to the left.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Crap they laid eggs.
