Default What's up with ramshorn snails?

Haha, I put 4 in my 20gal just after x-mas, and then about 2 weeks later i found about 7 in my 35gal across the room. I set up a small shrimp tank about 3 weeks ago, and i've got about 20 babies in there already.

Just opened my window.. and there's a bloody huge one in the window sill.

Stay where I put you! haha

I hope they don't go to the big tank downstairs.... 3 clownloaches...

Is there like a ring around the tank, of where the snails get to before they get dried out? like, lots of snails all in a 2 metre ring around the tank, all over the floor, dead and dried.. lol

Awww... is it a graded ring maybe then? So its less obvious? Like all the small ones, dead, near the tank, but the larger ones which last longer further away?

Yey for mocking pointless posts
