Coloured Ramshorn snails


Baccus

Recommended Posts

Usually I know snails become a massive pest in tanks, and believe me I have had my battles with them. However I do get the odd red Ramshorn cropping up in my tanks and last night I found one that had a very definant purple tint to it. I know overseas people get pink, blue and even yellow ramshorns but I wondered has anyone in Australia actually set out to breed a particular colour in them? Do you think people would be interested in purple or red ramshorns ? I also have what I have always considered common pale brown almost amber ramshorns with leopard spots on their shells. I actually quite like the orange bands on the snails shell on the red snails.

Hey resurrecting an old thread while researching ramshorns. Absolutely love the color on the purple one! Did you attempt to breed that color? How did it go?
