There has been a couple of threads lately about ramshorn colors, so I thought I would show mine. I have pink, red, "leopard", and brown. Looking at one of my pictures, I may have a blue too. I didn't know about that one.
Maybe everybody else can post theirs too!!
Come on let's see what all colors there are.

I may need to get pics of mine tomorrow hopefully after work. Nice snails, Sam! My ramshorns are brown although some have bodies that are a shade of red to me.

Only lately have I been noticing my three rams colors, I'm kinda liking them! I don't know what the correct colors to call them are. But here are two of them with friends:

Leopard/Brown As leopards mature they loose most of the spots. You can barley see them in the adults above.

Great pics from all of you! Ramshorns are one of my favorites, with orange my first color choice and olive second.

Here are some of my ramshorns with a bunch of babys! I am not sure if they would be called orange? The two grown ones hitch hiked their way in my tank with some plants.

Those babies all together are too cute! Hope to have some in my tank too. And I agree, some good pics from everyone.:)
im doing my best to keep regular brown or leopard rams out of my shrimp tank, and i seem to be doing well so far although i know ill fail somehow, someday. For now though, the only rams in that tank are these pinkies:
92249
92250
And this is Houdini, from my earlier days. I used to keep a pretty strict eye on this earlier tank to keep any rams or pouch snails out but i had to leave for 3 weeks and i came back to this beauty, all alone in the tank with no one to play with. S'why he's "advertisin" :p
