Jo3l Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Sorry for the picture, it's off my cell phone and the snail is the size of a grain of rice maybe smaller. 15 + have appeared in my tank in last month or two. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I replied to you FB thread while on my phone. Now that I'm on the computer with a bigger monitor, I'm quite sure it's an assassin. How hard is the shell? If it's quite hard, that'll be the tell I'm looking for.

Jo3l Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Nice thanks j vision! This is still very weird. I'm 99% sure they must be assassin's. the only this that had me wondering is reading about assassin's and how they usually lay very few eggs and some how I have close to 30 of these little guys all around the same size. Again I haven't had any snails In this tank for a year and a half at least the next all of a sudden I start to see these tiny almost air bubbles looking things. Not a bad thing as I have other tanks over run with Ramsey horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman44 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I was just looking for some info on what I believe to be the same type of snail, my question is; has anyone had snails like these spontaneously appear in a tank? I haven't added any fish in 3 months, plants in over a year and no new decorations either. I have 2 tanks sharing a sump and the snails, about 100 or more 1-2.5mm just appeared in only one of the tanks. I watch my tanks closely and today is the first time I have seen them. Sorry my pics are worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherD Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I literally just came on here to ask a similar question. I have rams-horn snails and am over run with them in one of my tanks. Suddenly, I'm seeing some of these little guys popping up in one tank. I'm not complaining as I was just going to look into getting assassin snails. I've not added new plants or animals for months. But nature knew somehow.
