OK, do you remember when I asked if the Ramshorn snail would hurt my baby Mollies? Guess what, after I fed the babies some of the fine First Bites and some of the Baby Bites, I looked in and a whole bunch were nibbling at the snail, on its shell! I think it got a dusting of baby food on itself, and they were feeding from its back. Poor snail was having a hard time, was fleeing fast as it could, and bounced around trying to get rid of them. They looked like they were going to eat him... he was not happy about it at all. Just thought I would throw this out, never saw that before, and wouldn't have imagined it.
Meanwhile both of the Ramshorn snails have made themselves at home in two different tanks, so don't expect any new snails from them. Nerite snails are hatching in the catfish tank, so I will have plenty of snails for use in the future.
oooh, this snail got smart -- hustled over to the airstream and stayed there and let the baby food wash off, thereby giving the baby mollies no more food on his back to eat. Who says that snails aren't smart cookies -- this one certainly is!
