It’s amazing how every snail has evolved so dramatically different that even the egg laying process differs so much great video Dan 👍👍

Thanks man. Good observation too and you're right. Pretty cool how each has evolved to be successful in it's niche hey.

This is by far, the best introduction to ramshorn snails. Great narrative, cadence, and acknowledgment. Keep on! Thank you!

Thanks ever so much.

Canned green beans (no salt added, of course) are a very convenient, if lazy, thing to feed them. I always have some green beans in the tank for them regardless of whatever else they may be getting or finding to eat. And they definitely love those green beans for sure, they eat them up completely.

Very in depth review Daniel. Both me and Donna enjoyed it.

I like the ramshorn snails. I laugh at their constant breeding. My blue mystery snail (Gary) is my favorite though.

Another great species profile, Daniel! I was just watching your one on peacock gudgeons the other day, too. Amazing footage of the developing snail eggs! I think whether or not something is a pest really depends on the situation. I really like keeping these snails in with my shrimp, and don't mind them too much in other tanks. Really nice, hope you have a nice weekend! 🙂👍

Thanks ever so much Tara. Yes totally agree whether something is a pest or not relates to the situation. That's part of why commonly referring to these and other snails makes me feel uncomfortable. For many of us they are a joyful and interesting part of our aquariums hey.

Great video!! I keep them in all my tanks I can too. Would be great to witness eggs on the glass to watch them grow as you showed. Very neat to see! Liked & Subscribed to your channel as well. 👍

I keep them in my 50l tank. They keep the glass fairly clean. My java fern leaves, however, have holes in them that I don't recall being there before I introduced ramshorns. Mine don't need a calcium suppliment because my tap water is about pH9million. They are just as interesting to watch as my platys so they are a permanent tank inhabitant.

@DanielKeepingFish

5 ай бұрын

ph9million haha.. Yeah they're super good fun hey. My guess would be it isn't the snails putting holes in the Java Fern but perhaps a difficiency, something they're not getting enough of possibly potassium.

These are cool used to have loads in the shop as you say so call them pests but they do a solid job in any tank

There a joy for sure! I guess they become pests to some when their numbers become more than they're comfortable with but that will be a video to come. 😉

I got these guys for free, I guess they hitched a ride on the plants I ordered, now I'm just setting up a new tank just for them, damn sneaky little bastards 😂

Dear Daniel: For me, adding Planorbarius corneus, to an aquascape is completely anathema, to what I’m trying to accomplish. Although they will devour left-over, fish food and put a dent in algae, I find the look of snails disagreeable, particularly in large numbers, such as this “pest-snail” species. Thank you for sharing, this intriguing look, at this, puffer-fish live-food. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

thanks for the profile and the lovely close ups Daniel......you know we love snails and we've had and currently have just about all of them in one tank or another! 7:55 love when they do this lol

Ramshorn snails seem very resistant to low temperatures and a friend of mine raises them outside all year round. Now they are also available in different colors. Have a good weekend Daniel

I have an aquarium set up in my son's room of bladder and ramshorns, together with zebra danios. It's a fun tank. Always something to watch ❤ I love snails 😂

Your ramshorn snails are really fun! I've got a group of them since a month and seen fun things as well 😂😂 I have had no baby explosion yet, but I hope to get more now that I've moved part of the group to a bigger aquarium. I initially kept them in a nano aquarium. I have one question: do they breed with any colour? So leopards with any of the other colours for example?

Crack small ones to feed to your fish. My betta fish will devour them if I fracture the shell exposing wriggling pink meat. He has grown robust and healthy on live snail.
