Default Got something at the pet store today!

So I went in the pet store today, hoping to pick up some Apple Snails. Any who, I asked and they said they only have one snail. They brought him out; he was in a dirty tank by himself. All I could tell was he was brown. They just let me have him.

I took him home, cleaned him off...and discovered he's drop-dead gorgeous!

I'm in love with his stripes! His name is Tigger, named after the famous Winnie-The-Pooh tiger.





I'll be getting my Apple Snails soon, lol.

Thank you

Yeah, that pet store was pretty bad; I don't go in the back much, but I'll probably stop going there now. The water was cloudy and there wasn't much water He seems to be ok though, he's a tough one for sure

He is beautiful I fell in love with this kind once and went through 2 or 3 of them before I discovered that the water in my building was contaminated with copper. I'd be fine to get one now but I'm afraid to

We could both have a Tigger and both have a Basil! Haha.

He's a Vittina coromandeliana, as I have found.
