I repeat, we have snails! :woot: Pomacea diffusa, to be precise. Big thanks go out to Dixienut, who sent me double what I paid for! :thumbsup: 1 blue, 2 magenta, and 1 dark purple.

I tried to drip-acclimate them... :rolleyes: yeah, I'm an idiot sometimes.

Big momma magenta! She's been the least active, and I'm a bit worried as she's not moving around much. But I did feel her tickle my hand in that shot!

Baby magenta - I love the white foot!

Dark purple, just took a breath of air and decided to check out some weird floating plant.

My blue! I've started to call this one "Spock" or "My science officer"... very gorgeous color that is hard to catch properly!

Dark purple descending...

Big magenta about 2 minutes in the tank. I love how the colors really show true in this pic.

Ooooh, a Spock snail! *fan girl attack*

Magenta Mama is some kinda gorgeous. Even if she does glide around adorned with, um, other snails.

I'm happy you're happy. :)

nice briggs! i wonder what colours the babies would be if the magenta and the blue spent some time in a snail porn moment......... (but the blue looks female to me, size-wise).

Those snails are nice! A little large for my aquarium, probably.

Man, this forum is going to make me end up getting a larger tank...

Nice snails! I got a bunch from dixienut a few weeks ago, and a blue one from msjinkzd. I love them. And isn't it funny about how they know about the food the moment you put it in the tank?!? And run for it!

:laugh: Yes, I was telling my husband "If I get 2 blues, they'll be Spock & Bones, magenta Scotty & Chekov... Yellow, Kirk." But I'm more a modern ST gal, so more like Blue=Jadzia, Magenta=Janeway & Chakotay, Yellow=Tuvok or Data. :duh: I do like Jadzia if my blue ends up female...

Really?? I thought it was nearly impossible to sex brigs.. I'll have to go research.

It's generally noted 2.5g per brig... you sure you can't fit one in? :grinyes:

Yeah it was amazing how fast the little magenta smelled the food!
