In one of my little tanks where pond snails are a pest some have been Albino and others with blue shells, or even clear shells. Has anyone else experianced this?
 
Nice one. I get only leopards and reds from my ramshorns.
 
Nope, but I be interesting in having one. One of my tanks has a single pond snail (no reproducing for you!) and I rather like them.
 
I have pond snails I've collected from a pond near here, and I think one of them, or one of the offspring grew up with a blue shell.
They don't multiply enough, or all get stuck in the filter or hide so I don't have many, but yeah. One of them is blue.
 
pics if the blue, and other color morphs u claim! i want to see!

I didn't get a good picture, but I plan on taking a better one with a brown pond snail beside it. I was attempting to scoop it up with a net, but it fell, and disappeared into the gravel.
 
I'll get pics once my tank is free of the ick outbreak that I'm treating

Here's my blue vs a normal.

Lucifersam, your blue look something like this?

Note: I don't have the best lighting, and in the camera mode to take pictures of small objects, the flash for some reason doesn't want to activate. Under tank, or white light, it's more of a light blue color like the first picture I put up. (The blue is more noticeable vs brown of the others.)
 
Definitely looks blue. I wish my snails would come up something like this.lol You only have one blue?
