New Extreme Macro Snails Photos (many)!!

Hope it is ok to post here since snails are also inverts. Sorry if you have seen these before from another forum. Anyway, I would like to share with you some of my aquarium snail photos!

I have 7 types of snails in total:

The third pic is a baby Apple snail and the shrimp is a juvenile. Tiger shrimp not the common ghost which is transparent.

Anyone with different types of MTS in your tank?

Melanoides granifera is less common than the other two types of MTS. In my experience, this species is very slow growing and does not reproduce quickly. Their shells are prettier (in my opinion) and shorter/stockier than the other two species of MTS.

Melanoides maculata is very similar to M. tuberculata except that the M. maculata’s shell has less brown spotted pigmentation and the texture rougher.

These are the three types I have in my tank M.granifera, M.maculata and M.tuberculata:


M.granifera (rare):


M.maculata:


M.tuberculata:
