I Want To Share A Cool Secret!

One of my tanks is a 10-gallon set-up with two pearl gouramis. They are really cool fish! My nieghbor has a saltwater set up and some how aquired snails from the gulf of Mexico. Lots of people hate snails because of the multiplication rate. He gave me four of them and at one point in time I thought I was going to have to move my gouramis to a different take and kill all of the snails, they were producing like wild rabbits! Of course I was extremely reluctant to do this so I kept putting it off. The good news is my procrastination paid off. The snails have equaled out and are an incredible natural filter for my aquarium. They look pretty cool when they climb on the tank walls. My kids love them.

Do you have the scientific name of the snail?
