Snails...

[Bettacreek]

The snails in the 72g are hard to snap shots of... It's a bowfront and it always distorts them. :/

Haustrum in the front, Bridgesii in the back

I'll get more shots in a bit, I need to change the batteries in my camera and clean tank glass on the other snail tanks.

They look like they have settled in nicely!!

[Bettacreek]

Yeah, I managed to get some shots! Lol. The shot of when they first came in could have been the cutest pic in the world, they had their little tentacles hanging out and curly, but I'm too short to get a good pic of them on top of the driftwood in that tank. :/ They cruise around quite a bit, but the shots of the cana were the first that I really got to see either one moving around. I usually just peep in and see them in different spots at different times of the day/night.

[rocker92]

do you have canas in a planted tank????? that could be a bad mix!!!!

[Bettacreek]

Lol. It's a bad mix already, I have tropheus in that tank! I have a little java fern plantlet that has been beat to hell by the tropheus, then some algae covered riccia on top of the driftwood. I was actually testing to see if the tropheus would devour the java fern, it's not an important plant, lol. The riccia, well, if it gets eaten, it gets eaten, I have enough in the other tanks, and that was dying off, so I figured I'd put it into this tank, if it survives, well, that's great, if not, at least someone will eat it instead of it going to waste and just dying in another tank.

Trapdoors (the tank is disgusting from the shipping crap, but, the tank is getting changed once they settle down) There's a little pinkish ramshorn there as well... lol

[Bettacreek]

Lol. They're hard to get good shots of! I keep finding them in different places, but I never seem to catch them actually moving, except for the above pics of the cana.

Lovely.:D Bettacreek, I'm so jealous of your haustrum.:irked:

[Bettacreek]

It's only fair. Lol. I was envious of your canas until I got my little baby.

[jpappy789]

Love the snails! Beauts!

[Rbishop]

Nice..weird, but nice.

[Lupin]

Neat!:headbang2: How many spixis do you have now?lol

[Bettacreek]

I started with six that Chazgirl sent for the RAOK thread, but lost the two smallest. Now I have four, and this is my first egg clutch. Now I have to figure out how long it takes for the eggs to hatch and figure out the growth rate... My memory is terrible, I know I've read about it half a million times, but I can't remember for the life of me.
