[anna]

looks weird...

 

[joan]

It's a snail of some sort. A very creepy looking snail.

 

[sharn]

haha mine has that arm thing too!!! i have no idea what it does. anyone know?

 

[jon]

its an apple snail! and that arm thing is for syphoning air so something like that?
it was the first time ive seen this behavior and i had the camara!! touch!

 

[joão]

do you have the apple snail with your axie? Apple snails like warmer waters.

 

[hayley-jane]

weird

Keeping your Apple snail with your Axie will be fine. I had one in my tank for a long time. It died, I guess from old age. I will be getting another one shortly. Some people advise against it, but it is nearly impossible for me to keep my tank maintained without one. I get bad Hydra infestations that frost over the glass if I don't keep one in at a time. One takes care of the Hydras and the little worms that sometimes come in.

I keep my water in the early 70 degree area because very hard to regulate the temp in an upstairs apartment to anything lower. the weather will get cooler soon. My apple snail was pink

what a cool dude!and they come in other colours!?!I want one!!I accidently bred ramshorn snails from 2 I got for my fishtank,and now have about 100 in a bowl I keep just for them,and now have 5 cone shaped ones that came with a plant I bought added to the bowl.They are all so small Boris will just eat them,but an apple snail could be good,
Sharn,being a kiwi too,where in NZ did you get yours?
Wgtn doesnt have much in the way of cool tank stuff

 

[sharn]
