Welcome to Gaia! ::

I got two nerite snails on Tuesday! I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of them. I think one is a zebra snail and the other is a Tiger snail. ^_^ Here are pictures!

Here's Gary. I named this one Gary after the snail in Sponge Bob because I placed it on the pineapple decoration in my tank after the acclimation process, and up until sometime last night, it remained on/in the pineapple. XD


Still in the bag during the acclimation process


The underside, still during the acclimation process. He did not want to remain in the water and kept wanting to climb up the bag lol. I think he was looking for food, considering his mouth was also opening and closing.


on the pineapple (It looks a lot better now too. ^_^)

I tried to get some of the front of his shell because the pattern on the front is a little different from the pattern on the side/back, but he wouldn't turn to face me. I'll try again later lol.

Here's the other one (I haven't named him yet. Any suggestions? )


In the bag during the acclimation


One side of him


Front of his shell


the other side of his shell. He was spinning on the dragon for a little while, enabling me to get a picture of each side of him.

They are. whee The store also had leopard ones. I was tempted to get one of those too, but I didn't want to overdo it on the snails lol. I like watching them and my betta a lot too. I do have to monitor them to make sure they don't get out of the tank where my filter is hanging. Does anyone have any idea how I can close in the gap there without having to remove the filter? I like that filter and don't want to have to go with a canister/under water filter because of the snails. So far, though, the only one that looked like it might is the one that I haven't named yet. After he left the dragon that I placed him on (which was shortly after he was finished resting lol), he went to the glass and up the glass on the back and decided to rest right in the back corner where the gap is. Thankfully he never escaped, though. smile

Um... I'm a little confused on how you would do that... sweatdrop
