Apple snail, Beau's tankmate... well, just for a night.

I've been thinking of putting a snail in Beau's tank. Just to scrub of the dirt. A maid for Beau.

And yesterday, while walking by a drain, I spot some pink mass. That's a bunch snail eggs. There must be apple snails nearby. And I saw one. I picked it up from the drain, which amuses some of my friends. I really don't care about getting dirty. I played in the drain when I was younger. Catching tadpoles.

I introduced Beau to his new tankmate. Bettas are curious creature. Beau was investigating his new tankmate. Sniffing, if fish do sniff. Yes, Bettas must be the dog among the fish. Agile, playful, and protective. Beau keep on sniffing the apple snail for about 30 minutes. The new creature must have amused him so much.

However, I have to let the snail go. The snail, while good at scrubbing the glass walls, made a lot of poop too. And the water gets dirty, the gravel are covered with the snail's poop. And it eats my poor grass. The grass looks sickly, brownish, but it is also Beau's favourite place to hide. The snail didn't bother to eat the Javan fern though.

So I let the snail go this morning. And clean the tank myself. And I decided to rearrange the tank accessories.
