Ramshorn Snails are an interesting addition to established tanks. While many aquarists purposefully introduce them into freshwater aquariums, many enter the ecosystem by accident! They tend to hitchhike on live plants and rocks. They’re always on a mission to find and munch on algae. Now, onto the shell. These snails get their name from the distinct shape the shell takes on. It features a flat spiral. It’s reminiscent of a rope spiral or ram’s shorn.
