alanmin4304 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If they sit upright like red or brown ramshorns they are their babies. If they are the same shape but on their side they are the pain in the but snails which I don't know the name of. Clown loaches love them.

Lynnie Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Are they a cone shape? If they are they are trumpet snails. They are a pain to get rid of. I got some in one tank and had to boil the shingle to get rid of them. As had no loaches. The red and brown ramshorn can all be removed very easy.

enzoom1 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 While we're talkin bout snails, does anyone know the name of these snails that stick to the glass on their side and they're pale/transparent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Are these the snails you are talking about dixon, they are about 5mm in size. i am currently fighting a battle to get rid of them. I'm thinking of getting a group of chain loach to eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Mrs Google thinks they may be Planorbidae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Anyone in Wellington happen to have an infestation they'd be happy to share? I'd like a few hundred snails, not worried about type, they'll be going into a tank outside to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trumpet Snails, if they were trumpets i wouldnt be complaining I might have to put my 4 chain loaches in there then :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjafroglet Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 On the bright side the loaches will be happy =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 These are the ones im talking about lol I thought the ones you were talking about were fully red (now that I look at all the hundreds of babies, I see there is a dot of red on them ) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 On the bright side the loaches will be happy =D I wont be though :lol: Its supposed to be a South american/amazon based tank, and the loaches will be near impossible to catch :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
