help identifying this snail plzz!!!!!

Post by heartagramette »

I found it along with some of its babies in a canal near my house. I also found some ramshorn looking snails, which are about pea size. Can i feed either of these to my dp?

i would let it hang out fora while before feeding it to your puffer, just to make sure it doesnt have any problems. Put if its small enough and doesnt seem to have a super thick shell i dont see a problem

Not advisable to feed wild caught stuff to puffers. You have no idea what bugs they carry. Besides, the DP's won't be able to get through that shell. They'll just end up ripping out what they can and the rest will rot in the tank.

It looks like a Malaysian Trumpet Snail but the cone is a little too fat.

As far as the rams horn looking guys.. they may be doable, again maybe after the 2nd or 3rd generation.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...
