I bought a couple of Gold Mystery snails last month. They are monsters now! You can see at least an inch of new growth on their shells. How big do they get? They are still smaller than a golf ball but now I am beginning to wonder. They are really neat and seem to be doing proper snail things. I am making snail jello tonight for them.
 
Thank goodness! I find that I can't go to sleep until I see both snails and all three otos. Am I obsessed? I even look for both shrimp. Stop me before I buy any more!! Oh, I forgot, I am waiting on 10 ember tetras! Help meeeee..........
 
either you're not obsessed or we both are. :lol: I have 14 RCS and I religiously try and find em all a few times a day. I usually get up to 12 if it isn't feeding time =/
 
I am the same way with some of my fish. I try to count the silver hatchets, bleeding heart tetras, royal farlowellas, and SAE's every time I look at the tank. I also take a general count of the neons. I stopped trying to find the 6 clown loaches, 9 kubotai loaches, and any of the plecos because they are always hiding somewhere and it takes forever. I saw 6 of the kubotai loaches and 3 clown loaches feeding right by the automatic feeder the other night, and that was a great sight.

As far as snails are concerned, I have 25 in a heavily planted 55 gallon tank. If I tried to inventory them and the fish every night, I would never sleep. When I got my first 12 snails, I used to count them all the time and the plants were pretty small back then, and that took a while. Now, forget about it.
