Snail babies?

[megadon]

I can see little snails hitchhiking on the bigger turbos during the day and and night I see them on the glass? Anyone ever see it before?

Hey what are those anyway? And they may just be small. I have a breed of tiny snails in my tank, they just dont get that big, about 1/8" or less.

:jumping:
:cheer:
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! thank goodness someone else has them. I have counted at least 5 on my tank wall's. I use a magnifying glass to get an up close view of them, and yes they sure look like baby snails.

thank you, now I know I am just not seeing things.....
cool

 

[megadon]

Yea, that looks like what is riding my snails. Do I need to worry about them and get rid of them? What is the fix?

 

[megadon]

How do you know if they are good baby Cerinths? I can see them clinging to the turbos during the day and on the glass at night. They are all white.

 

[bang guy]

Cerith snails will not cling to an Astrea Snail. They will eventually kill your snails if you don't get rid of them.
I would only get rid of the snails on the Astreas. You may have both, baby Cerith and Pyramidillidae Snails. Baby Ceriths should come out at night & eat off the Glass.

Thanks Bang, So how do I get rid of the Pyramids? Do I have to pick them off 1 by one from each snail?

 

[bang guy]

Yep. Take the Snail out of the water and pick them off. Also look for eggs.

Kip or Bang Guy, I have the little snails that look like a tooth with two roots attached. Thats the best way I know to describe them . They are tiny, shell less, and all over the glass of my tank before the lights come on, from all I have read on the boards this is a good thing.
Am I right?

 

[bang guy]

Are you talking about flatworms? What color are they?

 

[pacopetty]

Thats them. What are they? I have a bunch of them.

i have pyrimid snails to i have been pulling them out every other day some hide in the rocks and come out ant night but they are pyrimid snails. i have read the a sixline wrasse will eat them im going to try one. the only thing the snails come out at night and the six line doesnt.

Now I am getting really confused.....The baby things........ that I have are out most of the time and on the glass. When I look very close at them they appear to really look like baby snails. Some are a light brown in color and some are white. They really don't look like the flat worm at all. I have never seen any of them on my turbo snails nor seen any eggs. :help:
SO VERY CONFUSED NOW.

my snails look just like smaller version of mexican turbo(very similar w/no door on the shell. Come in white and tone tone white/brown. Soft tissue is just like turbo also.

 

[countrygal]
