It's me!!!!

I got 2 magenta mystery snails, 2 olive jade mystery snails, a mixed group of 6 mystery snails (they pick out the colors, they have b-grade shells) and a group of 5 assassin snails.

The mystery snails will be going to my 40 gallon, unless some of them are black mystery snail, in which case the black ones will go to my betta's 10 gallon (I already have a family of black snails in my 40 and I don't want to mix them up).

And the assassins will be going to the glofish 10, I have a ton of pink ramshorns in there and I want them gone. The assassin snails will take care of it for me.

I can't wait till they get here! I'll be sure to share pics!

They arrived earlier today!!! All of them seem to be adjusting well except the ivory, she seems like she might be dying- no funky smell yet but she's drawing into her shell the way snails do right before they die.

They sent extras of all of them! So I now have 8 assassin snails, 3 magenta mystery snails, 4 olive jade mysteries, 1 ivory mystery, 2 albino mysteries, and 3 black mysteries. I moved the 2 related black mysteries that I had before into my betta's tank.

I also took some update photos of the 40 (where the mystery snails are), the glofish 10 (with the assassin snails) and the baby tank (the one with the mushroom houses). Oh! I found a surprise in my baby tank a few days ago- A baby pygmy cory! No clue how he got in there! So I moved him in with his family :) He's very small! I also have a lot of platy fry right now- I would say at least 20. They're all very tiny still, too tiny to take pictures of.

(pictures from top to bottom- assassin snail, ivory mystery, olive jade mystery, black mystery, magenta mystery, albino mystery, baby pygmy cory, 40 gallon, baby tank, Glofish tank.)
