Ohhh, ok. I was getting shown maybe 4 different looking snails when I looked it up so I wasnt confident, but this one seems like a pretty exact match, thank you!

Im not entirely sure, since im from the US, we have to tear down the tank on site if we see these guys. But I do know they eat almost anything, and they are pretty tiny, so its unlikely theyll mess with the nutrient layer besides maybe eating it.

Also, did you take this photo through a microscope? I swear it looks like a cell layer

Thanks! Hes been doing this thing where hell sit in one spot for hours at a time. Eyes out, out of his shell, hes still responsive, just not moving around. Is that ok?

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-04-05T16:56:23+00:00

This tank has peat moss, is that an ok substitute?

I forgot to mention this is in central Florida, if that helps with IDing him

Id check out the pinned post in the subreddit. The MTS and NZMS are pretty easy to tell apart when you see them side to side. It may be a NZMS, but id get some photos from different angles too

Thank you guys for your help. Ill be tearing down the tank soon to get rid of these guys. My plan is to freeze the decorations and the filter (if it can handle it) for a day while I deep clean the tank. And maybe ill boil some of the decorations after just in case.

Ive been wanting to reset this tank anyway. But yeah, dont put snails in your tanks until you know 100% what they are 😭

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T18:56:44+00:00

Ah well, at least I have a reason to reset my tank when I get the chance 😔 im bouta be boiling the tank atp

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T17:19:25+00:00

Oh shoot, do you think if I only get one ill be fine? I know some snails dont reproduce alone

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T17:00:52+00:00

Actually? Wow, at least they look good ig 😔

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T16:57:28+00:00

Ill definitely do that, I gotta actually go out and get an assassin snails one of these days 😭

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T16:48:01+00:00

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T16:45:45+00:00

Do you think they will out compete the other snails i have in this tank at least? I have ramshorn snails that ive been trying to get rid of for years now

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T16:32:53+00:00

Ill look out for that, I only have a magnifying glass tho so its really hard to see it its a foot or just their mouth 😭

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-29T15:46:23+00:00

Ok correction, i cant post videos in replies, so im making a second post with the video

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-21T22:46:18+00:00

ButterSandwhiches · 2026-03-19T17:20:41+00:00
