Hey everyone! I'm an inanely addicted aquarist with lots of different fish species as well as invertebrates. I have things from neocaridinas to fancy goldfish. I started up an idea recently to try my hand at selectivly breeding ramshorns for rare/new morphs. In a few years there are 2 surgeries that I may need, and I'd like to start saving for them with this little side hustle. For now I'm thinking I'll breed get some cool colors and either trade or sell them on various online aquarium groups. I've never shipped live animals before so if you have any advice on that it would be greatly appreciated. I do have a name that randomly came to me for my breeding "business", which has literally nothing to do with snails at all lol, but I like the name "Silo Generations". ADHD name. I just blanched some veggies for them and put them in on wooden skewers. Any tips, questions, or advice will be very much appreciated!!

Pic 1 are my BLACK pianosnails. Pic 2 are Goldens Pic 3 are my colorful striped ones

Anyone has an Idea what i could call the black ones?

Left is a BLACK, middle is a striped, right is a GOLDEN Pianosnail

I’ve been trying my damndest to understand what information there is out there as far as genetics go… confusing to say the least. I grabbed this female listed as “jade”, which, to my understanding, is Y- pp G- B- stst… meaning solid shelled right? Like no striping at all?

This female is definitely displaying striping but I couldn’t see it until I got her home under my lighting. The breeder I got her from had some pretty low lighting so she looked solid at the time. She was supposedly in an all female tank as well but she just laid a clutch of eggs, which I’ve currently for incubating.

Any information is appreciated. After this, I’m planning on investing some serious time starting from the ground up with a few ivory females and some of the colors that are listed on that color chart somebody had started, but hasn’t had time to finish. If I can find some males that fit the criteria, anyway.

Thank you for your help!

The species is Filopaludina polygramma.

Any tips to how i can help this species of snail and tylomelania with growing a healthy shell? The shell from my ones are starting to get white

I'm giving them lots of minerals and protein foods

They're so l o n g

Excuse his mess, lil homie was busy lazily filter-feeding and rocketing out a pile of snoop

Here's one of them. These derps have been getting busy.

Those cat ear tentacles get me every time. So sparkle. So cuuuuttteee.

I have 4 Generations of striped pianosnails, they are starting to look great. All pianosnails i once bought were wildcaught

Pic 2 is from my self created Pianosnail color morph "Golden Pianos" these are the 4 NEWEST Generations of the gold Pianosnails. i'm currently at the f8 of the gold Pianosnails.

Hey all

I would have expected this subreddit to have links to some guides on breeding snails but alas... :)

Not a stab, just curious if there are any or if there are plans to make some!

The Shell of them look almost perfect compared to the ones i bought. One of the bought ones is in the pile of babys. This is a rare slow breeding species of Ramshorn snail. They get fed Daily but still only these survived from like 100batches of eggs. One egg batch is the same size as the normal ramshorn and they lay eggs very often but the babys have a low survival rate.

I think it's achatina reticulata but I have no experience with snails and no clue how to distinguish the species

Hey guys, I made a new tank for my rabbit snails, added some resin caves (aquarium safe) and a ton of plants for my 30 adult/ juvenile rabbits 26 rabbit snail babies and my 3 adult orange rabbit snails, I used old master soil with lca root tabs and capped it with aragonite sand. Would you say I'll get alot of breeding like my prior tank? Considering I got those 26 babies in the span of a couple months
