Default Blue ramshorn snail on brown wendtii crypt
Every 10,00 or so snails these ramshorns - whose parent stock came from a local lake - throw a "blue" mutation.

You totally should breed them, it looks like an albino gene to me. I think its cool, of course they are a sort of menace, but if they were blue I might not get so angry at them.

I see them on aquabid from time to time, and ebay. I wouldn't say they're not available.

If you think keeping tanks of plants and fish is weird, I know snail people - all they have is snails. And water sprite, which they call "food".
