Snail Jar Aquarium

That snail has a wonderful amber colored shell, the body almost looks purple on the picture, is that how it really looks?
Yes. Theyre a dark red body and a green-amber shell. Theyre very unusual, so i want to see if this colour breeds true.
 
My baby ramshorns are getting bigger :) if you look closely a little down the stem to the left of the bottom larger one, you may see a freshly hatched baby too, my second batch of eggs hatched too :D

Babies are pretty golden so far. Itll be neat to see if they darken up or stay gold.

Sunlight is fun.

Pardon the hair, thinking some of my hair transferred onto the glass when i wiped off spilled water last night and i didnt notice haha. But even the body is gold on this one. So cute!20200425_112223.jpg

Introducing...
Snail jar #2!!
20200427_152353.jpg

This one is much, much smaller. Babies from the two snails in there will be transferred to other tanks to manage the population in the small size.

I found a weird pink leopard ramshorn in one of my tanks, so i moved him and a plain pink from my 10g nano tank to the new jar. Theyre still juvenile snails, but itll be cool to have more of those ones as well.

The pink leopard before i moved him to the jar...

And one of the pinks from my 10g, i moved one of these to pair with the leopard in the jar.

From left to right... Franklin the betta's tank, then the first snail jar, and finally the new snail jar on top of the air pump
