oh....i dunno much about ramshorns....just had luck breeding them yesterday. but yeah...i read from some web sites that ramshorns dun really eat plants....rather decaying plant matter...but if really no food, they will attack good healthy leaves....drop in some sinking pellets/wafers for them once inawhile to distract their attention?

maybe they are IN your moss ball?

... do they lay eggs on the Nanas? ... mine no plants in there, so dropped in a few small sections of pipes... and now the pipes are covered with eggs...

... also, the first batch of eggs in my floating tank ripening liao... can see them turning greenish and larger le... ... can't wait for them to hatch...

Hahaa, Bro, think you are going to be a Pro in breeding snail liao. It's quite fast for you. Just got the snail and now the eggs are going to hatch.

no la... is just luck and not forgetting the super fertile snails from bro Jerra..

tink there are a lot of pros in the Planted tank section also, where the bros always find ramshorns a pest coz they breed too fast...
