I love them!! They were packaged well and came out of their shells almost immediately after being put in the water. As I was hoping, one was pregnant! I have 2 tiny babies on top of the 3 I ordered :D
Update: She has now has SIX little babies. They’re so cute and I can’t believe there are so many! Make sure you’re prepared for way more snails than you originally bought, lol. Glad she’s happy and healthy in my tank, thank you Shrimpy Business :D
