Rami is getting big. Big enough for me to see without having to enlarge his image using my iPhone.
I have no idea how quickly a Ramshorn snail grows. So it’s been fun watching Rami getting bigger every week. A few days ago I took a the video below of Rami meeting the biggest Ramshorn snail in the tank.
I have three grown Ramshorn snails and they all lay eggs, so I have no idea who Rami’s parent is. (Ramshorn snails are hermaphrodite, when they mate both snails lay eggs.) And I don’t know if it makes a difference. After the snails lay their eggs they’re don’t seem to pay any more attention to them.
I contine to scrape the snail eggs off the plants and rock in the tank where the snail lay them. I don’t want the tank over run with snails.
Do you have a cover on your snail (fish) bowl to keep them from crawling out?
No Jenn, the Ramshorn snails don’t seem to climb out like the Mystery Snails do. They come to the top of the waterline sometimes, but that is as far as they go.
