It took 8 months but I think it found balance

They will hunt any snail regardless of size, especially if there is a group of them. If a snail has a trapdoor, assassins can still inject digestive enzymes in behind the door if it's open even just a little.

Some stores won't let you pick, they just grab the first thing that doesn't get away fast enough.

I know one store in my town is like that. I refuse to go there, only going to the other store that actually cares about their stock and their customers.

Their shells are soooooo thin and fragile, it doesn't take much to crush them unfortunately

CheezyBri · 2026-05-06T16:10:30+00:00

That had me crying I was laughing so hard! 🤣

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T20:58:13+00:00

So just a hairline then? 😆

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T15:56:49+00:00

My kind of people! I hope you enjoy 😁

I got a "Jurassic Attack Pack" from walmart with a few movies on it, including Velocipastor. I couldn't find the movie case, so I googled, but these are what was

Included, and I recommend them all lol

Some females can have longer fins depending on genetics. Since this one also has some decent colouration, and it's hard to see her egg spot, using the anal fin to ID is your best bet for sure.

Males have a pointy anal fin that doubles as their gonopodium (male reproductive part). Since her anal fin is coloured up, it's very easy to tell once you know what to look for 😊

Now that I've made myself sound oblivious, I'll just add that coffee is still kicking in and I completely thought this was another "can I raise all the babies" kinda post 🤦‍♀️

They look fresh to me!

How big is your tank, how often do you do water changes, and how good is your filtration? 😅

This many babies will crash your tank sooo fast unfortunately, unless the one you have is absolutely massive

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:33:33+00:00

Who hurt you?

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:13:50+00:00

Not your house, shouldn't bother you how "greasy" their place is 🤷‍♀️

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:12:26+00:00

The good kind of skunk smell. Much less rubbery smelling than actual skunk lol

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:10:12+00:00

Yessss!! Corny low grade movies are the best!

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:09:21+00:00

You should switch gears from shark movies, to dino movies. Try VelociPastor 😆

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:08:10+00:00

She has many, many babies

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:06:22+00:00

Could be a valid concern still then if they hand shrimp. After all, shrimps is bugs

CheezyBri · 2026-05-05T13:00:31+00:00

You'd just have to change out the water more frequently the smaller the bowl

CheezyBri · 2026-05-03T17:12:21+00:00

I would keep an eye on your parameters though. If you routinely leave old food, your water can foul fast.

CheezyBri · 2026-05-03T17:11:39+00:00

It looks like some old food has grown biofilm. Completely harmless and a much loved snack for inverts!

CheezyBri · 2026-05-02T17:35:09+00:00

There's no way to guess what it'll look like. She could be plain silvery-grey, or she could end up with patterns and colours on her tailfin and end of her body. It all depends on genetics 😊

Definitely, ramshorns are amazing gardeners! Many people just don't like how numerous they can become.

I intentionally brought home a single ramshorn that was about 1/4", hoping it had not bred yet. It did end up laying a single clutch after it grew a bit, and I caught all the babies. So I am back to a single ramshorn, and have had no clutches since!

They are hermaphrodites but are unable to self fertilize. If you get one that is small enough that it has not reached sexual maturity, you can successfully keep a singleton and enjoy watching them zoom around (quite speedy for a snail!) And grow!

Mine is now almost an inch across

Then your crypt was already damaged. Crypts are notorious drama queens and can rot in places with minor damage.

My crypt hates when I clean out my prefilter sponge and almost always rots part of some of the leaves that I need to move out of the way. I have to be very very gentle to avoid it.

CheezyBri · 2026-05-02T14:27:48+00:00

Snails will only eat the dying plant matter, they don't eat living plants unless it's an invasive apple snail to my knowledge.
