    I was doing some late night tank watching last night and saw this TINY critter crawling up the glass. My tank has only been running for 3 months, and the snails have been in it for about 2 months. i guess they make friends faast. ;D :smokin:

    Thats a Collonista sp. snail. Thats probaly an adult or sub adult. They dont get very big. Very common hitchhiker snail.
