It's only been set up for a few days, but I'm in love, and I can't stop watching Caius swim and explore the tank.

He's such a curious little man and often investigates the snails when they move quickly or float to the surface. He also likes to watch me when I'm near the tank!

Caius is also a good little eater, having tried and eaten everything I've given him. Here he is after having a meal of bloodworms.

The ramshorns in here are doing well also. I thought this one was cute trying to stretch to another buce leaf!

Last time I bought plants from a fish shop I got an unexpected surprise - tiny snails had hitched a ride to my tank! I wasn't sure what kind they were as they were so small (I thought they might be bladder snails but their shells were a bit different) so I just left them to grow for a few weeks... it turns out they are blue ramshorn snails! Their shells are now 1.5-2cm wide and are a very pretty dappled pastel blue with hints of pink, some are plain and others have a gorgeous leopard spot pattern. I have about 10 and they seem to be laying eggs, so I will have more baby snails in no time! I have noticed there are some small bites out of my plants, so I will have to make sure they have enough algae wafers and calcium blocks to munch on!

Week 3

So after a bit of research and with some help from the lovely people at the local fish shop, my lil underwater garden is looking luscious and healthy!

I’ve chosen plants which are nitrate hungry. The LFS guy said that plants that are bought off online stores sometimes arrive so beat up that they usually can’t muster the energy to root. It might have been a pitch to sell me some plants but I found that he was right. All the plants I bought managed to take root within the week and are looking bushy and happy.

The Monte Carlo is now completely cleaned out and the Rotala also got trashed too. Instead we have water weed, water wisteria and hornwort as the background plants (all nitrate hungry fast growers) and we have Anubias on the rocks and Java fern by the filter. As the Hornwart grows, I chop the new shoots up into little bouquets held by lead weights. They function as new plants so I can keep filling in the background.

The best news of all; the tank is cycled! I’ll give it a week to see if it’s stable and then we can get some wet pets in there!!

my favorite thing about mystery snails is when they make a lil whirlpool with their foot, and create a current, so all the floating food is carried straight in to them

and then they eat it as its floating by or collect it with their foot and eat it after

so fucking cute

i dont see many people talking about this behavior, and i think we should.

My little 5 gallon today~

I sat in front of it and just took video and photos of it for a good half hour. Here is some of what I took!

I just absolutely love the leaves on this plant~

This little cutie was adventuring across them.

My anubias is looking happy too! It just recently put out a new leaf.

Even Caius got a photoshoot!

He was strutting his stuff! The handsome lad!

hi can you tell me anything about these guys? like are they hard to train or do they come with preset skills

I have never kept these snails, but I have seen them before in the aquarium trade.

They are rather secretive, usually staying undercover during the day, and they feed on other gastropod and worms.

A lot of people are very concerned about this species, because they may pose a serious threat to native gastropod, if purposefully or accidentally released into local waterways.

If you are interested in keeping them, I would definitely take all precautions to make sure that they do not get released into the wild.

Here's more about biology:
