I finally got around to the pics. And I have decided to keep it as a snail tank instead of going tropical. biggrin.gif
I went to a local (kinda) aquatic store today and got some new additions. He said they don't always have as many different kinds but they have been getting some in lately from a lady who raises them locally. So it was a good snail day! happydance.gif

You may have to look close to tell the snails from the colored stones laugh.gif

yikes.gif Boy, don't I know it! Thud.gif

I added a couple of ornaments from my extras that will do for a couple days and when I was taking the pics I realized that I forgot to leave some space above the water line yesterday when I was cleaning. So I dipped out a little water and everything is fixed now.....until one of us here thinks of something else that is!! rofl3.gif

I think the tank looks very cute. I am sure the snails will be happy in there. smile.gif

Just a tip though, I wouldn't add anymore than the 10 snails you have in there right now smile.gif

Very nice! I think everyone's tanks look nicer than mine. Mine have the "on a tight budget" look. smile.gif

How many gallons is that?
fishrpets
The tank is 20 gallons. smile.gif

fishrpets
It's a fake amazon sword. I'm not very good with live greenery in general. crap.gif
I haven't tried it in a tank yet, but I love the look of it so I may get brave one day and try it. smile.gif

I totally had a snail named Sherlock who came with a stowaway... he came ON sherlock, though, so I named him Watson.

Your snail tank looks great biggrin.gif At first,I thought the color stones were snails hah.gif until I read your post biggrin.gif
fishrpets
Thanks CU smile.gif That's why I thought the stones would look good in there, but sometimes I wonder about that decision when I am sitting there trying to find the snails! unsure.gif laugh.gif
