Hello everyone, I am looking into getting some Nano conches for my aquariums and I have not found any Strombus maculatus available anywhere. I have a 20 gallon waterbox that has been running for 3 years willing to buy from someone who has them.
Hi all. I’ve noticed this design on my trochus snail since I’ve got him about 4 months ago. I’ve noticed this weird snake looking design on its shell has grown. Can someone please help me identify what’s going on? Thanks in advance
