Just ordered some blue and some pink ramshorn snails. My question is if a blue and a pink breed will they just be brown or something? I know it is that way with shrimp but I don't know about snails.
 
Yes, just like with different color morphs of shrimp, if they interbreed they will eventually start having wild-type offspring, which will be your basic brown ramshorn. If you only want pinks and blues, keep them separated.

Thanks for the info.
