Regular Member Black oranda Posted April 3, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2005 In my tropical tank i found these snails, at first i thought it was a pest snail. But i looked closer and it has a shell like a ramshorn but its about 1 cm... I have about 5 or so in my tank now. Are theses rams?, Can they live in a tank without a filter (My beta tank) Are they any harm to my other snails (Trumpet snails and a brig) ?

Regular Member smack536 Posted April 3, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2005 def looks like red ramshorn to me...a little baby one!!! theyre so so cute when theyre babies!!! yes they can live wiht a betta, but make sure to wipe off all the eggs when youclean or theyll move your betta right outta his little house...they dont need filtration necessairly....just regualr water changes they dont bother other snails and they are pest snails!! probably not with a betta though...easy enough to get rid of eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Black oranda Posted April 3, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2005 Alright thanks , Ill move them into my 5 gallon betta tank. I don't want the tropical 15 gallon tank to be filled with rams lol . Thanks again, Alex (By the way i just saw them mating more snails on the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 20292 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Yes becuase that is what happened to me and they might even be asexual which means they do not need a partner to have babies. Hope i was help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smack536 Posted April 4, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2005 hmmm...alex...if they were mating, then they probably arent red ramshorns...they do it all by themselves...i ended up with 300+ and I orignally bought 1. i guess im wrong!
