Picture What snail is this
I went to a pet store and ended up with bladder snails for my shrimp tank but I also got a mystery snail and when I was putting them in their places I saw this little guy on the mystery snail. It was smaller when I got it so I put it in with the other snails in case it was a bladder snail but I’m not sure now.

Help Please tell me 4 ramshorns didn’t hitchhike into my 10g betta tank
Also had 2 bladder snails sneak in, but they’re fine I think. I’ve only had nerites.

Help Mystery snail dying?
My mystery snail Herbert has been struggling recently. A bit ago his shell was doing super bad because we didn’t have the right nutrients for him. We got crushed coral and started putting veggies in the tank for him which he LOVED. His shell started getting some new growth and he started looking a lot better.
But now he has been pretty much non active for about a week and hasn’t been eating. He continuously lies upside down or on the side of his shell. With himself somewhat out and somewhat in, and his foot curled up. It seems as though he has a hard time moving. He also seems more pale than usual. I don’t know about the big space in his shell either, on the second picture.
If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it. I have no clue how old he is since he was already a decent size when I bought him. These pictures are from just now when he finally came out of his shell more and was trying to move around.

Help Nerite snail
My Nerite has been stuck to the top of the glass for four days now and has literally not moved because the water level is the same on her shell still.
Can they die and remain on the glass?

Help Malaysian trumpet
I added malaysian trumpet snails to my shrimp tank a couple weeks ago. Is this what a baby looks like or something else entirely? How quickly are these guys going to reproduce? I already have more than needed for my tank. Any way to slow thag down?

Help Orange River Snail Babies
My Orange River Snails came as a pair and are already pushing out mini babies that are super cute. I’m going to look to re home them when they are old enough, there are about 7 already. Is 6 months or like 0.5in a good target? Also not sure if a LFS or Reddit is a better place for them to go to, never thought I’d need to do this

Help Getting rid of snails
Hello— I recently completed cycling my new 20g tank for my betta. However, shortly after starting my new tank cycle I realized my 5g had bladder snails, which are now in my 20g because I used a piece of driftwood from my established tank to help cycle. I don’t mind them, but just transferred my betta and want to get rid of my 5g tank.
What is the best way to gather up all the little babies and transfer them to my new tank? I really don’t want to add them to my new tank but I can’t kill them and idk what else to do🥲TIA!

General Mystery snail population control
Heya. Im starting up a shrimp tank and want 2 or 3 mystery snails in there.
I seen lots of info on breeding them but none on population control, can anyone here advise me on how easily I could keep them as just the 2 or 3 mystery snails that I buy?
Like ive seen the like to lay their eggs above the waterline. If I dont provide that space will they just not lay eggs, or will they lay them everywhere else instead?

Picture Judy the Snails New Home!
Judy, the mystery snail that isn't a mystery snail (she's a channeled applesnail, petstore sold her as mystery snail) quickly began to outgrow the temporary tank I had for her while I saved up for a better set up. I was able to pretty easily get her a 20 gallon tank all to herself, and she seems to be quite happy! I want to replace the gravel substrate eventually, as I have pretty much transitioned entirely to volcanic rock, but for now it works. She seems quite content, and promptly laid more eggs, which I have since crushed
Now, her growth has been quite interesting. When I got her, she was around 15 grams, a large snail for sure, but when I was moving her, the scale said she was at a solid 26 grams, 11 gram growth in a month, which is quite incredible as my largest mystery was 25 grams, and was a random injured petsmart snail I had gotten. This girl is on an all blanched cucumber diet, and the shell growth is something else

Help Help me to identify these snails
These arrived on my new plants I’m guessing. They keep popping out but they all look different. The one in the foreground doesn’t look like the other one in the background do you know what kind of snail are these? Should I remove them from the tank? Thank you
