10G with Tiger Barbs and Corys

Can you identify this snail

Freshwater, algae eating, pea-sized and smaller--but I suspect they are going to grow.  Any ideas?

The Zoo Med 501 Turtle Canister Filter

Generally with a small tank you have the option of a HOB (hang on back) filter, and a in tank filter.  A HOB tends to look cluttered and ruin the look of a tank, but an in-tank filter takes up the limited space inside the aquarium.

The Zoo Med 501 Turtle Canister Filter offers an alternative in that the intake and outlet go into the tank but the filter can be place a discrete distance away and easily covered up. I didn't use all the suckers and attachments, but just tucked both over the edge of the tank and behind the driftwood.

It is not completely silent but quitet enough that you would only hear it in a silent room. And the filter media provided with the filter is not great, but you can use anything you want in the large filter media compartment.  So if you have a tank that is difficult to keep clean, and want a filter you can tuck away out of sight, this is a good option.

Some New Spixi Snails Have Appeared

Cute :)

Success!

I think I may finally have the basis for a breeding group of yellow ramshorn snails.  Which is to say i have at least two of them, possibly three.  I think I can safely assume that the lack of red body pigment is a recessive gene.  But on the up side ramshorns are hermaphrodites so any two can start the true-breeding line, although I am leaving a brown ramshorn in with them so I can select out the yellow ones and avoid massive inbreeding.
