Do you have any blue rams horn snails?
I am thinking of breeding for them! But i dont know if this is something only acheivable if you have blue ones to begin with?
I currently have one pink/reddish rams horn snail and 2 very small baby regular brownish rams horn
if they all make babies, is there a chance i will get a blue one as well?
did u just buy it from the store? of did u just by chance end up with one? or many?

Does anyone have any pictures? i found a few on the internet, but they are so blue and the shell was so intricate... i find it hard to believe!!!

Theoretically, if you just kept breeding brown ramshorns you might eventually get the occasional one with a blue coloring...but that would take forever. If you really want blue (or any other color), you basically need to find someone who has a strain of that color already going and get some from them.

True. In theory if you keep breeding brown ones eventually you might end with something that comes out Blue. Like the previous poster already suggested, better to find someone with a Blue one, get a couple and within a few months you got blue rams horns coming out of your ears. They breed like crazy .
