I have a few in my tanks (at least I think they are) and want some more. The
other snails I have sometimes cause severe damage to my plant' stems.
I collected these in the same spot in the Everglades were I get hogchockers
(dwarf sole) and gobies. This particular area has a salinity level of 1.015.
I will pay more attention to them next go around.
