Things are starting to fill in nicely with the new plants.



I found a new type of snail in the tank. Typically I have seen common pond snails, but I think this one is a Ramshorn. They have a really nice reddish brown color that matures to a nice purple as they develop. I love the long antennae, they serve the function of a type of gill, though they also have a pallial cavity (primitive lung) like the pondsnails.
