Snail Tales

The journey of an amateur aquascaper and the critters who were along for the ride.


The Saga Begins

One Saturday night I found myself sitting around the dinner table with some friends playing a nature-inspired board game – a common theme for most weekends. As we were wrapping up the game, I started explaining how I would love to own some blue nano shrimp one day. I lit up as I started to describe the shrimp and my friends, being incredibly supportive (as usual, I’m so lucky), pointed out that the idea truly combined all of my favorite things: gardening, animals, and making tiny things out of clay. The saga of my nano shrimp and aquascaping adventures began right then and there.
