I was looking at and trying to count the huge number of baby mexican turbo snails in my 90g tank, and I started to wonder how big a tank would need 50+ turbo snails?
:scared:
How many do all of you have? ANd in what size tank? How many should someone with a 90g have?
ANd why do I wonder about these things?

Did you buy baby turbos??
I try to keep at LEAST 90 turbos in my 90 gallon tank. Only about 1 or 2 mexicans though...
And I have no idea why you wonder about these things...LOL.

One day I saw all these little tiny snails, didnt know what kind they were til recently as they got big enough to recognize.
What do you mean you have at least 90 but only 2 mexican turbos? Arent they the same thing?

And I have many odd thoughts.

Maybe...they are out in light or dark. The pic makes them look a bit greener than mine, and since I havnt added anything in months I would tend to think they are mexican turbos. Mine are brown and tan with a similar pattern.
I guess ill know better in a month or two.

Yes they look about identicle. The only diff is the size. If you have any about as big as a dime then they are prolly mexican turbos. But if they are all still as small as a pea or so, then it's more likely collonista snails. I hope you have m.turbos!! That'd be cool!

Hmmm..the more I read up on these snails and see pics the more I think they are collonista snails.

Damn I really wanted mexican turbo babies.

Well, they may still be that, but I am doubting now.
