One Eyed Bunny Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I found this guy last night when I was doing a midnight inspection of my tank. He's black with a semi-frilly mantle. I'm curious if he's toxic or has any special eating habits. I did some research but he doesn't match anything that I found. I'm guessing by his size: 1" x 1/4" x 1/4" roughly, that he's a juvenile still. Link to comment
jimmy595 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think you actually have a snail called a black scutus. Theyre good guys, eat algae. Link to comment

One Eyed Bunny Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, now that he is deemed relatively harmless I'll let him live. Thanks for the help! Link to comment
