Enormous snail needs a name (edited title ;0)
« on: June 15, 2010, 19:49 »
I bought a live plant for my white clouded mountain minnows and a tiny snail was stuck to it  :). So now we have 5 minnows and 1 snail in the tank  :lol:.

I wondered if you have any suggestions for a name we can call the snail?

Surely there can be only one choice Brian the famous magic roundabout snail, certainly Ermintrude would allow no other.

The snail is 0.5 cm long, so incredibly tiny  :lol:.

Are you sure you want to keep the snail?  :unsure:

                          Main diet = plants and they are expensive!  :blink:

Just a thought......  ;)
