Snail Photos

A thread to show off your snails pics 

Here are most of my nerites. I couldn't see one of them anywhere, it'll be hiding on a piece of wood.

Using my numbering system from my Whitespot thread here are

#1. Grey with lighter grey spots. I have 2 of these, this is the one in the betta's tank. They are both 1 cm across the longest axis of their oval bodies, bought December 2014. The one in the 180 litre likes crawling along the glass just below the top of the sand so it is very difficult to photograph.

#2. Orange red with black markings. This snail is slightly bigger at about 1.25 cm. Also bought December 2014.

#4. Zebra nerite. This is the largest of the nerites at 2 cm. Bought July 2011. Yes, I do mean 2011. This is the snail that survived out of water for..... I'm not actually sure how long.

#5. Larger orange red with black markings. This is the second biggest snail at a tad under 2 cm. Also bought in July 2011. This is the snail I couldn't find when I needed to treat the tank for whitespot so it survived almost a day with the medication in the tank

#6. Bee nerite. This is a small snail at just 1 cm. Bought December 2013.

#3 is the one I can't find at the moment.



The white spots on the wood in a couple of photos are nerite eggs. These are the only downside to nerites. They don't hatch and stay on the decor for ever.
