Bettas do and will nip at the eye stalks of snails; you have a pretty nice looking ramshorn there...prepare for more.Aren't there different species of ramshorn? I thought ramshorn was a general term for any planispiral shelled snail.

You might get lucky, it's rare to have only 1 "pest" snail....totally a personal preference, though, if you like him/her, nothing wrong with thatThat's why I'm planning on moving him to separate tank. Looks like I'll be starting a snail only tank, I just need to figure out what size I need. I'm not sure there will be more... I had two at one point then one died. It's been almost a month and Gary still appears to be the only snail in the tank.
If thats the case then you know more than me.Aren't there different species of ramshorn? I thought ramshorn was a general term for any planispiral shelled snail.
Ramshorn in a term used for planorbid snails in general. There are several species of planorbid ranging from those pest snails which don't grow more than a few mm to the really big ones we pay good money for and come in a variety of colours.
There's also the Colombia giant ramshorn which is actually an ampulariid, the same family as apple/mystery snails.
