Lupin, I'm suprised you didn't say "what kind of loach food is it" or something like that.

LOL! I am keeping several snails and loaches at the same time. See sig in orange font.

I belive the one snail is a blue mystery and the other is a millitary helmet.

Do I need more of the same type of snails?

The blue mystery (Pomacae bridgesii) is sex specific. The helmet snail is most likely a nerite snail, they don't produce viable young in fw. They typically will lay eggs but the eggs hatch into larvae that require varying degrees of salinity to turn into snails. The bridgesii will reproduce readily with both sexes, a healthy calcium rich diet, and room above the water line to lay the eggs.

Funny thing I also thought it was a nerite since I wasn't familiar with the name "military helmet" for a snail. I agree with Rachel. Leave 2-3 inches room above water line for them to lay their eggs but you need to get it a mate first. As it is sexual, you need to make sure you are buying a partner of opposite gender. Males have a penis sheath at the right side of their body.
