Gold Ramshorn

[Candice]

Golden Ramshorn with pink body. I'm also getting darker coloured shells, closer to a copper colour with dark pink/reddish bodies. I'll try to get more pics when they co-operate.

This is my 20 gallon hex snail tank.

A 20G Hex all to themselves??? Lucky snails! Do you just have Golden Ramshorns or other ones, too?

I have 5 ivories and 5 pinky/purple brigs in there...along with a multitude of designer Malaysian trumpet snails and whatever rams pop up. I also keep a few baby Endlers in there for cyclops control. :)

I keep the water low in case my snails ever decide to go lay eggs. About 2/3 of the substrate is crushed coral...the other 1/3 is walnut coloured geosubstrate.

The ram in the picture is actually in my planted tank, and that's florabase it's on.

Almost missed this one :wideeyed: .

There are several Ram morph's out there. Some are sold on Aquabid. The Red Rams were bred out from regular Rams so anything is possible really. There's a dark one that has a deep, burgandy body and I suspect that's the one that the reds came from. There's pink, white/albino, blue (I have one blue varient but there's another one), etc. If you have a population that throws morphs, it seems that they can and do throw many more of them, so keep your eyes open! If you crossed the pink/clear shell base with a blue, you may even get purple - works in fingerpainting anyway :laugh: .
