Best 2024 Benefits of Adding Snails to Your Betta Tank
One day what happened you know I saw my beta fish were a little bit nervous their health was good what happened because they were nervous their perfect partner was not with them so I found snails are the best partners for betta fish. Then we decided to snails in our fish tank for betta perfect partners. So let's see why add snails to your betta tank
Snails to Your Betta Tank
For clean the tank and maintaining the snails is effective because snails are algae eaters and this is to clean the algae in your fish tank. For waste removal snails are good for reducing ammonia in tank snails are a good choice. For harmful gas accumulating snails are a good choice. Snails are good for making a peaceful environment and another thing is betta is most likely to live with snails. To create a better tank look Snails are a good choice because snails come in different colors and shapes.
How to find the perfect snails for your betta fish tank?
Finding the perfect snail is difficult, but don’t stress we are here to find some below. Nerite Snails For excellent algae eaters nerite is the best choice. They have come up with lots of colors and this makes the tank look better. Mystery Snails
Tumblr media
Mystery snails are large they are algae eaters also. They are long antennae and this is very beneficial for betta because betta are attracted to these antennae. Ramshorn snail
Tumblr media
If you want small types of snails then this is the best choice because these snails are small in size. Betta also is a tasty snack because it is very small.
Which snails are avoided in fish tanks with betta fish?
You know some snails are dangerous to betta fish also which one looks below Apple snails
Tumblr media
a big snail leans on an apple and climbs into a jar with water. African snail Achatina is the largest land mollusk. Apple snails are very large and when you put them in your tank then they grow very fast in some cases they eat betta fish also. Malaysian trumpet snails
Tumblr media
These snails are very large and when they grow they out to the fish tank I mean run out in our tank so avoid these types of snails. Pond snails
Tumblr media
Cryptozona siamensis is a land snail that breathes using its lungs. There are two genders in the same body. Most will cross-breed. Found scattered throughout every region of Thailand. These are tiny but hitchhikers and come on plant and reproduce very fast so avoid this type of pond snail also.
Tips for creating a good environment for betta fish
Tank size Choose a big tank if you want to add snails because a small tank is dangerous for snails. Hiding place I already told about in my previous article that there is a hiding place to betta fish because this is necessary to live bettta fish. Supplement The supplement is required for the healthy growth of snails you can choose calcium supplements which are good choices for beta fish. Acclimation Acclimation of snails is necessary because if you do not acclimate the snails then they give disease to betta fish. Check compatibility Betta fish are happy with snails or not this is necessary to check the betta fish. If this is not compatible with betta fish then leave it snails. Also Read  Hurry !!

It's not that improbable!
Tumblr media
This is an Achatina snail, they live in Sub-Saharan Africa, but are kept all over the world as pets, my friend actually has one
Tumblr media
And this fellow is an Egyptian tortoise, and now that i see them together it actually looks a lot like the one with the gnomes. And it's not a baby, it's a full-grown adult of this species!
I just remembered i have these bad boys in my camera roll from when i saw them last year, i thought they might delight you!

i went to my first animal expo and it was amazing! these are baby GALs. 
i didn’t take many photos but there were so many adorable little guys! i loved all the different varieties of shrimps, and the tiny baby plecos, and the tarantulas, and of course all the mammals and birds. i really wanted to get a giant millipede but i managed to resist (though my pet wishlist has grown considerably in lenght)

(ENOSHIMA I'M BALD. TW: animal injury) Hey, Gonta. Could I quickly get some comfort regarding my pet snail? They're an achatina fulica and they're only a few weeks old. Recently, they were slithering around their tank walls and fell off, breaking part of their shell. Even though the break is in a place that is usually nonlethal, I'm still very worried. Could I please get some advice on how to stop worrying? I'm asking you because you'd probably have some experience with stuff like this. Thanks!
Oh no! Your snail-friend’s shell got break? That no sound good, shell breaks can be very dangerous! But you said that break not in dangerous place and not too big right, Anon? Snail-friend should be fine if Anon give them good amount of calcium to build strong shell, and keep home misted so they no get dehydrated! Gonta still want anon to keep close eye on snail-friend though, just in case it start acting weird.
Tumblr media
But what Gonta do when he stressed is talk to bug friends! Bug friends make Gonta feel safe, and they very nice too! Gonta also sometimes talk to forest family about what he’s worried about, and forest family make Gonta feel better about it. Maybe your family can help with stress too! Gonta also sometimes write in his gentleman journal whenever he feel worried. Writing and reading nice words help Gonta relax, and they also help Gonta become true gentleman! 
Tumblr media
But Gonta believe that everything will be okay Anon. As long as you take good care of snail-friend, they should be okay. Gonta think you are very good pet owner, and good person. Cuz if someone like and take good care of bug-friends, they must be responsible, good person, like you. And if someone is good person, they will have good things too, like having snail-friend heal fast and easy. Gonta know that they will, and he grateful that snail-friend has you to help.

Today I bought some sphagnum moss and redid my snails punch-bowl! In a couple days/weeks it should be very grassy since the top layer is full of seeds.
I'm now also finally looking for some friends for this lone baby since it's starting to be actually snails sized!
Its was found about a year ago as a hatchling in a blueberry packet that we bought in tesco and was the size of a large sesame seed. It's now a bit over 1cm long and I think it might be a Achatina Fulica but I can't be sure until it's an adult.

So it’s been over a year since I got the Slime Children (and about a year since I last posted pictures of them snfgjdfghgd I’m such a terrible parent)
So in true Roo fashion, I’ve gone ham buying stuff to upgrade their current home to something a bit more interesting.
Also getting some new friends.
So far I’ve only kept my little trio of Achatina fulica, but the new additions are a pair of Archachatina marginata suturalis, one Archachatina marginata grevillei, one Achatina immaculata, and a pair of Limicolaria flammea.
Three new species, two subspecies, six new slime children total.

2. Make 11 of your own questions
3. Tag 11 people
What do you do in your spare time?
Writing and art are my jobs currently, so reading and roleplaying.
Favorite TV Show?
Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 99, Bojack Horseman.

Waaaay too late. (Blame my American friends.)
Hats or no hats?
I like hats, but only when the weather is appropriate.

My perfume collection and my dice.

This one’s hard. Octopuses and snails are super good animals and I love them. (I do actually keep achatina fulica as pets.)

I’m not sure how those belong together, tbh? Usually the arts and cultural studies are segregated from “hard” science. Not that I argue about that, since Art As Science/Science As Art was one of the base concepts  of my diploma of the arts.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone!

Snail update!!!
Today is the day, my friends! Cervantes has arrived and I am now the proud owner of Achatina Fulica Jadatzi.
He's doing well, a little shy at first but very fond of my sister already. Considering she isn't a big fan of bugs, he seems to have won her heart in record time.
Hopefully, I'll have pictures of him soon, to upload to the world. I couldn't be happier right now.

hey where did you get your snail friend? species? ive always wanted to keep big land snails, but i live in canada, where they arent generally popular or available
I got my snails from a biology-student like myself in Leiden, the Netherlands. Here, the pets are also not that popular, but at least not illegal. In the USA, the snails are illegal to keep due to the risk of them breaking out and destroying the local ecosystem; here the snails would not survive the cold winter. I have no idea how the rules are used in Canada, so try to find out more about that first!
Mine are (Liss)Achatina fulica, a more or less smaller version of the big Giant African Land Snails (GALS); Achatina achatina and Archachatina marginata (”Ovum”) are the biggest I think. The snails can be bought on reptile expo’s, and on the internet of course.
A. fulica:

I was tagged by @braddersbangerz
Are you named after anyone?  Nope. I am “the late arrival” of my family and my mum and dad asked my elder sister (20 years gap between us) and brother (14 years gap) their opinion on the name cause my mum wanted to name me Angelica just to pair with my sister Anna. And I guess I should thank my brother who insisted on the name Darya)) My mum still believes that I would become more interesting and sociable person if I was named Angelica... “The gift of god” is too simple for her))
When was the last time you cried?  Not during the Endgame(May 1st). But few days before that when I was fully overwhelmed with damn awareness that my uni friend/quiz team mate commited suicide (plus I was a bit drunk cause of cider)
Do you have any kids?  Nope. I am only nineteen. I didn’t have any romantic relationships yet. And I am still not sure about kids.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?  Sometimes, when I discuss something with my parents or have some arguments with them.
What’s the first thing you notice about people? Oh, thats difficult... Ok, I try to notice if they are arrogant or not. Cause I had way too many toxic friendships during eleven school years and seven years in the summer camp I used to go. And most of these people seemed to be nice but appeared to be arrogant cunts. And I ended up at the same department with one of the school cunts who made my final year a disaster (our friend stupidly wanted to match us and failed cause none of us wanted this. and that guy showed his real face trying to cause my nervous breakdown every single day...). Luckily we ignor each other (although he tried to say “sorry” through that “matcher” girl (who ives and studies in Saint Petersburg now) recently in social network but it was awful). So now I try to avoid such toxic people. Now I kinda feel them
What’s your eye color?  Grey-blue.
Scary movie or happy ending?   Both actually. But happy ending is preferable...
Any special talents? Used to play guitar. Plus I am good at remembering stuff if I want it.
Where were you born? The Republic of Bashkortostan (Bashkiria), Russia. We have great horse milk called Кумыс (Kumis) and the best honey. We hosted Shanghai Pact summit back in July 2015...
What are your hobbies? Reading, Ficwriting (in Russian and when I have periods of inspiration, not now sadly but during Autumn and Winter), History, British Culture (this started with Sherlock Holmes back in 2009) And quizzing of course))
Do you have any pets? I used to have a turtle and then Achatina snails(google the latter)). But they all passed away. In both cases I was at summer camp and my parents fucked up (left the snails exposed to the summer sun on a windowsill, for example)
What sports do you play/have you played? Not a sports person at all. But I am a great swimmer))
How tall are you? 4″11′
Favorite subject in school? History, Literature and English
Dream Job? Book shop I think)

"The Slow Train Home" - 🔵@maestro320 's Notes: Got a hangover? Or does it feel like a Monday and your body is still begging you to sleep a little bit more? Burned out? Whatever mood you're in, the body language of these brightly coloured Strawberry Hermit Crabs resonate a myriad of emotions about living on a laid back Island paradise. This beautiful footage was filmed on location at Lady Elliot Island, Australia courtesy of Marine Biologist, Passionate Marine Conservationist and Environmentalist, One of My Favourite Underwater Wildlife Photographers abd Videographers, My Good Friend, Jacinta Shackletin @jacintashackleton Follow the leader! This might just be the worlds slowest conga line but these Strawberry hermit crabs will eventually make their way home after a big night out exploring the beach 🍓🏝 • C. perlatus lives in a wide swathe of the Indo-Pacific, from Indonesia, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Aldabra in the west to Samoa in the east. In Australia, the species is limited to Christmas Island, the Cocos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Coral Sea Islands Territory. In the wild, animals may live for 25–30 years, but only live for 1–4 years in captivity. C. perlatus keeps a supply of water in the shell it inhabits. It returns to the sea at night to refresh its water, and it performs osmoregulation by taking appropriate quantities of sea water and fresh water. In the heat of the day, it can bury itself in damp sand as a means of thermoregulation and to prevent water loss. It can also withdraw into its shell and close the aperture with its claws. C. perlatus is an efficient scavenger, to the extent that the low numbers of carrion-breeding flies on many islands have been attributed to the presence of C. perlatus. It has also been observed to use its claws to pinch the live flesh from the invasive land snail Achatina fulica. Eggs are brooded inside the shell that the female inhabits, but are released into the sea. C. perlatus was originally described in 1837 by Henri Milne-Edwards, based on material from Mauritius. C. perlatus is the rarest of the six species that are frequently found in the hobby aquarium trade. (at Lady Elliot Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eyL7DBp3O/?igshid=vc4hqpj0klqg
