Found a local seller on Aquabid and picked me up some beautiful baby purple briggs mystery snails and 10 nice blue ramshorns! Pretty excited about it, they're all beautiful!

Wow!! Those blue ramshorns are beautiful!!! They look bigger than a reg ramshorn or is that deceiving?
 
They're only a tiny bit bigger than my two big brown ramshorns, so I wouldnt say that they are crazy big, but they're definitely big. I moved every brown ramshorn I could find to my pea puffer tank so they dont pollute the blues hehe.
 
Those blue ramshrons are nice. I just yanked a couple little purple briggs like yours out of my 29g and put them in the puffer tank, last time I bought plants at my LFS that had always been snail free in the past I never checked and seemed to of ended up with a ton of little purple hitchhikers.

Do they breed true? Or do you get different colors thrown in?

I've put 2 of the large blue ramshorns in my shrimp tank and the rest in my 20L plant growout/quarantine tank where the brown ramshorns were grown for my puffers. I've already noticed 2 large egg clutches on the glass in my shrimp tank and am excited to watch them develop! If they're all blue babies I will let you know!

My brother's GF really wanted a purple snail for their tank, so I picked up some babies (one for her, the rest for me lol). I love the purples, I hope they breed when they get older. I hope 6 is enough for me to get at least one of each gender. I know a few people around here who wouldnt mind some purples for their tanks and my LFS would love some too.
