Some ideas on new snails

[petluvr]

I love my Briggs, all like 1000 of them and I am even having some success hatching cluthches of all dark purple, dark bodies with orange spots, but I am thinking of getting something new. Anyone have any suggestions on non-hermaphroditic snails whos eggs are easily removed if not wanted?

olive nerites, asolene spixis

I have spixis, they are beautiful once they start getting larger. I have some a little bigger than a quarter. The olive nerites I have never heard of. Got any pics.

Nice. Have any pics?

 

[petluvr]

I have a pic of one of my purple apple snails in another thread but I have none of the spixis.

asolene spixi (zebra apple snail, lay clutches under the water line, breed prolifically, can eat some plants, leave the majority alone, restricted to ship):

olive nerite (stay small less than dime sized, breed in bw, lay sesame seed sized eggs in fw), can live in sw,bw, or fw:

I love the spixis I have some in my angelfish tank, theyare stunning. You say they are restricted to ship? I bought quite a few from a girl in Cali. The nerites are kinda ugly so I don't think I will bother with them.

they are restricted to ship, doesn't stop people from doing it illegally. I will NOT ship them.

Spixis are indeed restricted to ship across state lines now, but that really doesn't seem to stop anyone.

If you don't like the Olive Nerites, there are a few other Nerites you could try.
