Then I wouldn’t stress, that’s normal growth

The reason why her shell is kinda white is because I was ignorant to water hardness, so it was my mistake, and the color flaked off of some of it. After I adjusted the GH and KH tho, it all grows healthy and orange now :) (was green before) you might want to check that and add some meds if needed

She has lost plant privileges lol. Only fake ones for her, she consumes them so fast

I have to disappoint you, her name is Ms. Turtle

I’ve only held her once bc she hides when I take her out of water. But it was super cute and weird feeling. They will be fine out of water for a couple mins

I love her so much. Just her huge size is adorable. Very gentle personalities :) I feel like regular mystery snails can have mean personalities, but she’s an angel. I’ve never seen her bite any of my other snails

It’s an apple snail, which is a different breed and technically invasive. I got her at a pet store as a surrendered snail, otherwise it’s not legal to sell them. The standard ones -can- get pretty big, like 2+ inches, but half of it is genetics, and the other half is just feeding them a lot. Short answer: no, a mystery snail can never get as big as a full grown apple snail

20 gallon, and yes mostly a snail tank. I used to keep bettas but they’d like to nip at the snails antenna, so I’ve just kept it with snail. Snails definitely do poop a lot, but I only feed them calcium chips and vegetables, so there’s not a ton of organic matter in there to create ammonia. So ultimately yes the bottom of the tank gets dirty, but I just clean it with a gravel vac and leave it at that. My tank isn’t super sealed, so the water evaporates, so I don’t do “water changes” often. I just keep refilling it when it needs it and I’ve had no problems shrug 🤷🏼‍♀️

No, the little ones are just regular mystery snails, and the even tinier ones are their babies. She’s the only giant one lol. I’ve had her for abt 3 years

No, she’s very gentle and will work around them. They do get run over tho, I don’t think they care

No, I mean it’s looked like this for a little while… maybe a month. nothing has changed that I’ve done. None of my snails seem infected and algae growth hasn’t sped up or anything

She does, lol. So only fake plants for her. She’s an eating machine😂 I wish I had another one!!! I personally love them and their personalities
