Haha ya i have found that i was losing the battle, i probably picked out like 30 but as soon as i do there are more :p I am glad now that i don't have to pull them out. Thanks for stopping by.
And this is how I ended up with both bladder snails and rams horn snails. With the plants! They multiply fast. I'm not a big fan of snails, but they are part of the clean up crew - aleae eaters, detritus eaters, they will clean up dead fish, dead snails, etc. Beyond that, Gabriel, they are harmless. I hope that helps. 🙂Cheers! ~Ron
Thank you so much Ron, that does help a lot, i now know both types i have in there, and that they are both safe. Thank you so very much for your imput.
Thank you sir, I was scared they were skuds, until i zoomed in today :p Glad they will not eat my babies. the other snails on the walls dont eat babies neither right?
It is cool when they swim into the bubble. I really need to put windows in my IBC tank That is a rams horn snail/ pond snail..they won't eat the fish but will eat eggs ..not that you have to worry about your livebearers
Thank you so very much, I'm glad i posted this video, i was scared and was picking them out as much as possible, probably threw 30 or so out so far, I'll stop now :D
Hey Gabriel those are just snails nothing to worry about. They look like ramshorn snails to me. Lots of people like to buy those too. It looks like you just got a clean up crew to help your shrimp keep those totes clean :)
oh ok, i thought they were skuds that i was told eat baby shrimp and baby guppies, until today when i zoomed in with the phone and said oh wow they look like snails. I will stop picking them out. Thanks for the info brother.
Ya i think that is awesome part of them. my next one just be a growout so no windows but hoping when i get around to a third one ill put a nice big window on it.
Looking good! Ramshorn snail is what you’re asking about. Got all different colors in all my tanks. Good little cleaners they won’t hurt your guppies or shrimp. Be mindful of the amount of plants covering the surface of the water, it is possible to suffocate inhabitants by limiting oxygen exchange. I’ve never had a tote this big but on smaller tanks I like to make sure to keep open water with agitation
Wow thank you, that is something i didn't even think of, How much open space do i need? do i need to push them out of the way where the bubbles hit the top of the water?
You are the third person that mentioned puffers, I might have to get one in the future, I always thought those pea puffers were cool, just dont know enough about them. Might have to do some research then get some :D Thanks for stopping by brother.
Dear Gabriel: I see that several viewers have already identified the harmless, ramshorn snails. My concern is this: How are you going to prevent your, fancy guppies from becoming inbred, in your tote? I believe it will be difficult to remove young males, as they become sexually distinguishable. Once they breed with their siblings, the many of resultant offspring have bent spines. I’d do something about this, before females begin dropping fry. Once that happens, I think is will be very difficult to control. I remove young, male Endler’s livebearers, from my, 20-gallon-tall, breeding colony, as soon as I can distinguish them. Even this is difficult, as the fish are so numerous and swill so fast. I hope you have good success, with your, aquarist endeavors. Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
That i do not know the answer to, I see summer tubs coming up all over the place, which is what gave me the idea. I will have to do some more thinking about this.
Red Ramshorn snails are super harmless, but they will breed almost as fast as the guppies. I've got heaps :)
Haha ya i have found that i was losing the battle, i probably picked out like 30 but as soon as i do there are more :p I am glad now that i don't have to pull them out. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow those plants are taking off! I bet the shrimp will love them!
They kinda didn't take off, i added a bunch more :p Thanks for stopping by brother. Just hope the stow aways don't kill the babies.

@@GCaquatics Absolutely, my pleasure, Gabriel!
Ramhorns are great- keep them going and maybe get a puffer. They love to eat them 👍👍👍
hahahah Great minds think alike, that is what Alex said. Thanks for stopping by brother.
Looking great Gabriel and Rams horn snail
Thank you sir, I was scared they were skuds, until i zoomed in today :p Glad they will not eat my babies. the other snails on the walls dont eat babies neither right?
@@GCaquatics scuds wouldn't mess with healthy guppies or guppy fry either
@@jeffkane4391 oh wow, guess i was misinformed, so i guess my future babies should be safe :D
Not sure what they are but they look pretty cool.
ya they do look pretty cool, lets hope they are not a danger to the project.
It is cool when they swim into the bubble. I really need to put windows in my IBC tank
That is a rams horn snail/ pond snail..they won't eat the fish but will eat eggs ..not that you have to worry about your livebearers
Awesome, I am glad that i have knowledgeable people on my friends list. You all releived some stress from me. Thanks for stopping by brother.
Just snails my friend and they hitch hiked on all your plants you bought. They won't hurt anything. But they will populate like crazy
Thank you so very much, I'm glad i posted this video, i was scared and was picking them out as much as possible, probably threw 30 or so out so far, I'll stop now :D
Love them in the bubble window.
Ya it is pretty awesome to be able to look into the tote.

@@GCaquatics they will help clean those totes which will be pretty helpful
@@FathomAquatics Awesome I've picked probably 30 out so far, i will stop :p
@@GCaquatics get yourself a puffer :)
@@FathomAquatics haha he would love those bad boys huh?
I never wanted totes because I couldn't see what's going on. Love those windows
Ya i think that is awesome part of them. my next one just be a growout so no windows but hoping when i get around to a third one ill put a nice big window on it.

@@brantonlightcap not sure if you meant pelting or commenting? if pelting ima lil lost :p
What up my brother
wadup wadup BWizzle, thanks for stopping by brother.
Rams horn snails feed them to pea puffers, but they are good tank cleaners as well.

@@GCaquatics hey they call them murder beans for a reason lol.
@@larrydsAquatics hehahah great name for them.
That’s pretty cool looking
yesir, guess they are called ram horns, just glad they are not dangerous to my project.
Ramshorn snails. Won't eat shrimp or guppies but they will take over
I've been told by 3 people to get some puffers and that the ram horns will be free food for them. I'm a little excited about that possibility.
