I'd like to correct a mistake in my video of the reproductive organs of the mystery snail. To be honest I have never delved this deeply into the reproductive organs of mystery snails before, and have made an oversight. Please check out this link where I am confusing the "penis sheath" for the air breathing tube. http://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/bucephalandra-sp-green-wavy-on-wood

That 'appendage' Cory, is his lung air duck. not a sexual organ. although they are sexible if you examine them underneath for another similar 'appendage'. I Googled it.

This is incorrect. That is the “snorkel” so they can breed every mystery snail has it. It’s almost impossible to determine the sex of the snails.

Adaira Heinrichs

Help? I've had my mystery snails for a month or so and the first batch of their eggs have hatched, but one of the babies shells is like a ramshorn snail and the face is shaped differently.
It's the same size as the other hatchlings and I for sure only have the apple/mystery snails so what could be going on?
They are the purple ones if that matters, and it's only one baby like this out of about 40 snails.

Yes they have shells when they are born. Usually egg laying species have super fragile shells that take a while to build up. The livebearing snails' young have pretty hard shells when they're born.

Cap'n Spicy

Sorry to hear that Ashley, LFS are good for one thing, Taking your money and making you feel like a failure (Guess that's 2 things)... What snails need is water, calcium and lots of vegetable matter like collard greens that are high in calcium and low in phosphate... and that's about it, I kept these as a kid in plastic containers with no heater or filter, they can breath air and can tolerate normal home temperature and seem to live longer at lower temps, I used my moms coral sand for substrate to keep ph and calcium levels high where they like it, I just kept a piece of leafy veg in there at all times for them to eat and they bred like crazy, To hatch the eggs you don't have to leave them in the tank with a fancy tight fitting lid and heater and all that nonsense, Just take an old clay pot and turn it upside down in a cheap plastic container with a lid and poke some holes in the lid, fill the container with about 2 inches of water, the pot will wick up just enough moisture and release tons of humidity and when they hatch they crawl off the pot right into water, if all eggs are done hatching remove the pot and fill up your new snail tank, Oh and to get eggs off the tank just give the egg mass a few days for the eggshells to harden then using your thumb and forefinger gently wiggle the clutch till it pops off. If you're still in the hobby I could post a video of my little setups for ya.

I'm pretty certain they make their shells from Carotin(?) rather than calcium - only because I've kept golden apple snails for years with many successful breeding in with my wild betta ( betta krataios at the moment ) and have never had any shell problems with the adults or newly hatched young
heatherwanderer777
heatherwanderer777 - 7 years ago
Don't forget a tight lid is very important because those bugger are escape artists!!! I've found a trail of slime leading down the hallway before! Then the cat got it and dragged it to the litterbox room. I think she thought it was stinky and that's where it belonged.
Another key thing to note, if you have an escapee and even if they have been out of the water 24 hours (sometimes longer!) they will retreat inside their shell and look dead. Get a glass of aquarium water, place "dead" snail in there. Leave it alone for 12-24 hours, it should pop back out and start cruising looking for food if its still alive! I actually threw one away, researched it, realized it might still be alive and crawled into the big outside garbage can and retrieved her...put her in QT for awhile but she survived just fine and went on to lay eggs and live a happy snail life! :D

Nice species profile. I think the part you said was their sex organ is actually the lung (breathing tube) when they need more oxygen they stick it high in the air. They usual do this when there is too little oxygen or rotting waste in their environment.Their sex organs are much further into the body and you have to wait for them to move a certain way to be able to see it.

Hello Cory,
Do you know if Ramshorn Snails go into a food coma or do you know if they sleep? I've been keeping rams for some time but I've never really noticed them just laying on their sides looking dead.
Are they dead or dying? They are not empty shells. They are not all doing that. They aren't attached to anything. Their shells don't look damaged or eroded. I have checked my water parameters with the same strips that you use and it says everything should be good. PH ~7, TDS~350, etc everything looks correct with the strips you use normally. My tank is planned, has guppies, cherry shrimp, pond snails, mts, a bristlenose pleco, and of course Ramshorn snails. Substrate is turface. 24/7 Finnex light on 24/7 mode.
Any help or advice would help.
Also thanks for the generous giveaway. I was a lucky $25 gift card winner and I already used it to buy some stuff from your site.

I am going to switch my current 55gal I have now, that you just helped me with, to the 75gal to try and profit from it too.

It can be common that hungry guppies can get nippy on their "feelers" so sometimes they hold up in their shell with what would be an otherwise optimal environment.

Do you have fish in the tank besides a bristlenose or is that it? Sometimes they get harassed and hold up in their shells.

Not to be rude Corey, but what you are calling their reproductive organ is actually the breathing tube that both males and females have. In order to sex them you must turn them upside down and wait until they try to come out to turn right side up (I used to use an empty egg carton to hold them in upside down as it can take a while for them to do so and will go back in if moved). When they are out of their shell enough you will then see this thick (hard to explain it without showing pictures) membrane that is on one side (males are either lefty or righty). But you can only see it when t hey are partly out of their shell. The tube you are showing is the air tube that they send up above the water line for air, not their reproductive organ. I bred and studied them as I was working with the different purple colors.. Love the video :)
On a side note as I've seen people talking about it - Mystery snails are not Apple snails. In the same family that is really large with all different types, but they are not the same snails. Mystery snails are not Apple snails. Mystery snails are legal in the different countries, Apples are not legal in all.

their air siphon is always on their left side and the penis sheath is on the opposite (right) side of the shell

I didn't want to say anything, but didn't want people to buy them thinking all males and end up with babies lol :)

I believe you're correct about the breeding tube. I've seen the tube being referred to as an organ etc. I was aware they were breathing air etc.

I would like to add that they breath air. I've had them get themselves wedge in between a filter intake or a fixed sponge filter and drown.

Hey Corey,just picked up about 50 babies,how old/what size are the before they start to breed and Can I add cuttlefish I collect from the beach for them to munch on?
M. Yates
M. Yates - 7 years ago
About quarter size they will start to breed.. and I have had no problem using cuttlebone with mine, but I purchase mine, unsure about off the beach - I'd be afraid of contaminants such as bacteria and waste.

Know these as Apple Snails more here in UK - though recently just because illegal to trade / import them here.
Aquarium Adventures
Aquarium Adventures - 7 years ago
In the UK these would be classed as Apple snails, and the trade, import or sale would be illegal. Whether the people enforcing that law would be clued up enough to go into this as much as we have, I'm not sure! I'm not sure enough to argue the point either! I'm going to file it under "Not quite sure!"

I am not scientific at all, so it gets very confusing to me lol. But Mystery snails one is able to mail across state lines and sell in the stores, but Apples are against the law to mail across state lines.
M. Yates
M. Yates - 7 years ago
Apples get to be baseball size, Mysteries stay 2". They are in the same superfamily, I suppose it can be called Apples? But there are other snails in there as well. It is very confusing... lol I feel like it's just one of those things where people got lazy and things just meshed together to the point it's blended and hard to get accurate information.
Aquarium Adventures
Aquarium Adventures - 7 years ago
Not to be pedantic, but aren't anything Ampullariidae called Apple Snails? Therefore Mystery snails are a form of apple snail? Maybe this is a naming convention thing?
M. Yates
M. Yates - 7 years ago
I get what you are saying.. they are in the same superfamily, but are still not the same. Ampullariidae which is put into different genera - Asolene, Felipponea, Marisa, and Pomacea. Mysteries are in the Pomacea - Pomacea Bridgesii to be exact for the scientific name for Mystery Snails.
Ampullarioidea is the Superfamily of all - where the "all Mysteries are Apples" comes in. Same superfamily, but not same snail. The "Apple" that is the true Apple gets to be about baseball size, whereas the Mystery gets to be about 2 inches.
Aquarium Adventures
Aquarium Adventures - 7 years ago
M. Yates I disagree. Mystery snails are apple snails. All mystery snails are apple snails but not all apple snails are mystery snails.
I'm prepared to be re-educated if you can tell me the scientific name of mystery snails?
M. Yates

Apple and Mystery snails are two different types of snails. Look similar, but completely different.

I thought snails could change sex. with a lot of snails all the snails are male and when they mate the one that gets 'poked' first turns in to a female :-p weird but fun.

OK Mystery/Apple snails - SO CUTE :)
Keep your tanks well covered - they love to explore, we find ours wandering outside the tanks, just plop them back in they are insanely hardy. With a starting population of 4 we have produced hundreds in 1.5 years. White, gold, blue, purple, red striped, they are lovely.
A terrific food for these guys is turtle pellets - full of minerals they need for shell growth/maintenance. The floating pellets are also hilarious - the snails will chase them around, engulf them and then sink to the bottom to nibble the pellets ^_^

if you find it outside the tank, it's a female looking for a place to lay eggs. she just went too far, couldn't find the water line and fell.

Mystery snails are Pomacea diffusa
AILING CHEN
AILING CHEN - 7 years ago
Mystery Snails ARE apple snails. They're all in the family Ampullariidae (apple snails). The ones you're thinking of are in the genus Pomacea. Theres multiple species that are easily mistaken for one another. The group of species invading Florida are pomacea canaliculata aka the channeled mystery snail (the variety that make people associate apple snails with live plant eating). There's also a species of apple snail native to Florida. The species of snails that comes in the large variety of colors are pomacea bridgessi/diffusa(very minor differences practically the same).
There are other apple snails in the genus Pomacea but it's very unlikely you'll find one for sale.

TLDR: common names cause confusion, scientific names are more precise

Female Mystery snails can hold onto multiple sperm pockets for over a year after breeding only once. It's like livebearer females, just takes one time and they will lay over and over for a long time
