I just found 3 small gray slugs in my tank. I have just remove them and put it in a cup for awhile. Are they ok for my tank?should I put it back?

Are you sure they aren't Stomatella Snails? :confused:

they don't look like that. And I am sure they are not snails b'coz I did not see any shells. I'll post a pic if I can get a good shot of my camera phone.

They're okay . . . I believe (IME). . . I've had three of those in my tank for a while but haven't seen them in like 2 mos'!! I only see them at night time . . . they're just algae eaters . . .

I agree, I think they are just algae eaters.. I have tons of little grey slugs on my glass at night.

They are Stomatella sp. snails. Mostly nocturnal, IME. They come in black too.

Yep, thats correct as well, I have both colors, only seen at night (see the odd one during the day)
