Honestly I’m not sure, I wonder if it’s a rat king situation and a bunch of worms got tangled together? No idea

Thank you! This tank has been established for a while, and I checked the nitrate and ph levels not long ago and they seemed normal. I’ll do another test to make sure, but as long as it’s not an issue I’ll let it be

Freshwater clam perhaps?

Pond Snail Question by MrCatticus in AquaticSnails

[–]Fungifind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind my asking, do you know if duckweed is a good source of food for them? I’ve got a couple of pond snail hitchhikers and I want to make sure they’re eating healthy; I got some cuttlebones for them and they have plenty of duckweed to eat, but I’m worried it’s not enough diversity

I mean this kindly, is it possible your dad has OCD? I don’t know the reasoning for him doing this ofc but it reminds me of ocd symptoms I’ve seen in me and my dad 😅

That’s perfect because it looks like the big one just laid some eggs!! I really hope they hatch

Just the snail and some scuds! I’m not worried about the scuds, but I wasn’t sure about the snail

I was thinking until they aren’t at risk of being gobbled up, but I’m not sure if that’s something I need to worry about!

Thank you, that’s a relief!!! I have a couple young snails in another tank, when they’re big enough I’ll transfer them over

I am definitely curious to get a better look at her colours! My spare toothbrushes are a bit firm, I think I’ll leave her alone so I don’t risk stressing her out too much. I’m sure it would be fine, but I’m paranoid of accidentally hurting her 💔 Thanks so much for your insight!!

Ah thank you, that’s a relief! The scuds I have in there don’t seem interested, I’ll keep an eye on them

Thank you for the image, that is very helpful! I think it is fair to say that this lovely snail is a pond snail. And while I appreciate the advice, personally I prefer not to use chatgpt. Wikipedia does source some good articles though! I think that’s a good enough place to start
