Funny Story

So i'm just on the computer, close to my 2.5 gallon. It has a HOB, some plants and some MTS and (yay) some baby ones too. So I hear a rattling, think nothing of it, then, I think of the worst. A snail getting turned into a smoothie by the impeller. I rush over to the tank, and out plops and adult MTS out of the filter. He hits the edge of the tank, and starts to munch on some algae. I have one of those things over the filter input, the ones that it lets in water through vertical slots. How could he hav gotten through there? Or did he climb up the waterfull output and swim around in there?

Man, these things are funny!

Another one. Today, I saw an MTS crawling along the bottom surface of the water, upsidedown. Moving its mouth around like it was eating algae....

It was eating algae llamalord. Snails are quite capable of eating the thin algae films that sometimes form on the water's surface.

My snails do that.... I got really worried because, first, they're overpopulating the tank; and, now, they're SWIMMING. Just on the surface of the water, buts.... Still. ^^; DX
