Beautiful, Glenn!!

What kind of snails are those?

[glenn]

Thanks Gene!

The snails are Anetome helena’s known as “the snail eating snail”… and they eat them!!

Amazing pictures! Thank you very much for posting them!

In the 15th image (from the top of post), is that some type of fresh water goby poking his head up in the bottom of the image?

Thanks,

my first camera was a Nikon Coolpix 2000, i’m now the owner of a Nikon Coolpix P80 camera since may last year and the pictures are better than with my old camera.

You are correct glenn – the rhingobius duospilus was exactly what I was looking at – Thank You Very Much! They remind of the desert gobys I kept for a while.

I wanted to ask if you don’t mind, how well are your Assassin snails controlling your MTS population? I’m trying the same thing in my 29g CPD tank (gravel substrate) but it’s taking longer to get them under control than it did in my 55g discus tank (sand substrate), even with more Assassins.

Great pics as always! Thanks glenn,

Hello Yim11, thanks for the compliments.

About the Anetome helena’s the snail eating snail: about a year ago i had a snail problem in the rekord 60 tank, i’ve put 2 Anetome helena’s and now after a year i can say that the snail problem is solved…I’ve put in every tank young Anetome helena’s to eat the snails, i takes a long time but after a while the Anetome’s will reduce the snails, it takes time…

I have really enjoyed this thread with your wonderful pictures! It helps me to see how others keep their tanks. I am new to keeping the Celestial Pearl Danios-I’ve gotten 10 about a month ago or so. I find them fascinating to watch. I have some A. Helena snails too. I have seen my first baby Assassin snail–there are many more–just haven’t seen those yet!
