Ever seen Snails Mate?
We have an aquarium that can hold 75 gallons of water.
Now there are about total of 10 gold fishes. They are of 5 different types.
Since I don't have a very good camera, it's really difficult for me to take pictures of them.
But they have been growing really well....
3 of them have names : Goldilocks; MiniMe; FattyFattyBomBom
We are still thinking names for the other 7....
Besides the fishes, we also have 4 snails and 4 different types of plants ( Not plastic ones ) in the fish tank. 2 golden snails, and 2 blue snails.
The golden snails have been growing pretty fast, and they love being in the aqaurium.
They actually don't move as slow as we thought they do, sometimes you can see them speed across the tank. Dustin likes to say they are 'Hauling Asses'..... :)
Here's one of the pics where the snail chill on the plant:
Last weekend, we found one of the golden snail outside of the tank!!!! We thought he / she was trying to commit suicide!!! Wondering what could have happened if we did not find it outside of the tank....
Two days later, as we were about to head out for work, we found one of the golden snails laying eggs!!! I did not grab my camera in time to take a picture of it, and the snail dropped off from the eggs after that.... While the snail dropped into the water, some of the eggs dropped as well, and were being eaten by the always hungry gold fish....
Here's some pictures of the eggs of the snail I took from the first day:
Here's how the eggs look like after about a week. We are still wondering what will happen after this....
This morning while I was watching the fish swimming around, I saw the snails mating again... here's some cool pictures :
Yea... They are getting it on.... haha.. :)
