I always feel peculiar when I upload videos of my aquariums to YouTube and file them under Pets and Animals. Animals is definitely correct, but pets I’ve always though of as family members that are animals. I don’t think my tank inhabitants make that cut. Anyway, I got some new additions to my tank, my Olive Nerite Snails. They eat algae. They mate. They do them both at the same time. It’s not overly interesting, but this is apparently what these snails do all day from my observations.

I have a picture and a very short clip of this.

I took a few video clips on my camera and spliced them together so you can see some of my tank occupants. A lot of the clips are during feeding time, which is why the fish are so overly excited.
