Stomatella snails??

hersheyb · 10/17/2017, 05:24 PM

I’ve been lagging on purchasing a clean up crew.. since last year. I think I might have 3-4 snails left since i purchase a clean up crew 2 years ago. They either crawl out or die somehow.

Well last night I was up around 3am n decided to check on my tank and boom!! Nature gave me a clean up crew for free!

That’s just 1 side of the tank.. they were everywhere! I might have seen 2-3 in my tank during the last year or so in my tank.

Very nice I have one in my tank like watching it go to work on the rocks.

I had one but only one so he never bred

I could use a couple if you want to sell them haha

I like looking at the tank glass at night when lights are off and see all the snails on the glass

Those look pretty good size, like they have been growing for a while. Look closely at the glass for tiny ones.

Love those- look like small abalones to me, but really active. Was lucky to get small population with rock that came with my daughter's tank.

I'm all the way in Covina guys.. I wasn't looking to sell any of them.. just wanted to share the cool idea of having a self reproducing clean up crew.
