It seems my snail in yesterday's time lapse video was not as obvious as I thought. Heh... Here is a reveal, then, starting with this screen capture of the little guy trundling along..
Did you know that the arthropod family includes lobsters, crabs, shrimp, scorpions, and butterflies? Do you think those 'flying flowers' are tasty as lobster?
I can see him now, but didn't yesterday at all. I think it was that fish darting in and then out that took my attention.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend. Big hug. ♥
That's what I thought. :) Best wishes, my dear.
DeleteThere he is :)

DeleteWhat is your snail's name? My sister in law has been caring for a fish for years now, that she took over from someone else. She even took the fish camping. It's not a nice fish, it will bite your finger, but I can't recall the species. It's blue. She has it named but I can't remember its name either.
ReplyDeleteCamping, huh? That's hilarious. I bet it's a beta. That is one of few species that doesn't require extra heat or filtration, just regular water changes. As for my snails, I'm not even sure how many I have! You see, I received a few more than ordered (3) and Aquatic Arts sent a few extra, apparently in case some didn't survive (the small, home grown business guarantees 100% survival) and these guys spend a good deal of daytime buried in the sand. I don't mind, as it makes finding them half hidden or see one or two 'waking up' at fish feeding time extra fun. Thanks for asking, and sharing this story.
DeleteAs I've never tried lobster (not a fan of shellfish), I couldn't say...
ReplyDeleteSome of those "families" are kind of weird, aren't they? Butterflies do not seem to be in this "bunch"! -smile-
ReplyDeleteStay safe and calm...
