Red rams horn snails
AHHHHhhhrggg,
Well I found myself 7 of these little guys. From the recent thread I
was excited to try them out and see if they can help me fight my current
thread algae problem in my new tank. I rushed them home and added them to
the tank. I stuffed them into nice hiding places in the middle of an algae
infested Java fern hoping that the loaches would pass them unknowingly:):)
Well I closed the lid, and took the dogs outside. 5 minutes later I
returned to see if they had come out of their shells to forage over the
plentiful supply of algae. Well all I saw was the tail end of the Tiger
botia thrashing in the Java fern:):) He never pays much attention to this
plant as it is near the surface in a piece of drift wood. He was
accompanied by one of the Banded loaches and from time to time the
noemacheilus sp. joined in. Well now, hours later, I can not find a trace
of them. The fact that I have not found any empty shells is encouraging,
but I am not getting my hopes up.
I was afraid of this outcome, I am glad they were free:) I hope I can get
a few trumpet snails into the substrate before the loaches smell them.
