Haha, I put 4 in my 20gal just after x-mas, and then about 2 weeks later i found about 7 in my 35gal across the room. I set up a small shrimp tank about 3 weeks ago, and i've got about 20 babies in there already.

Just opened my window.. and there's a bloody huge one in the window sill.

Stay where I put you! haha

I hope they don't go to the big tank downstairs.... 3 clownloaches... :shifty:
 
Are you sure that you didn't accidently transfer them via tank equipment/decor?

As far as I know ramshorns are fully aquatic and lack a lung, and aren't really likely to climb out of the water. I think you can sleep without fear of escargot. (Spiders, on the other hand...)

nope, the 20gal was all new suff. i did put some anubias from the 35gal into the shrimp tank, so that's probably where they came from lol.

i have a big bowl of riccia on my window sill.. so i think they hold competitions to see who can get there 1st. :lol:
