Just to start off, unfortunately my big eared radix leviathan passed away. 

I’ve had her for about 4 months. I was so exited to find her at Petco but didn’t know anything about her. I was 2 weeks away from my surgery and decided to do research. 

2 weeks into my surgery I went back to get her after confirming she can live In my tank.

However they live longer in cold water, and I have a warm water tank. I knew our time together wouldn’t be long but I cherished her dearly.

I got her no bigger than an inch which was still large compared to my others, she passed away at nearly 2 inches! 

Leviathan was a snail I’ll never forget. I’ve never had the experience of friendly pond snails let alone WANTING to be held. The first day I brought her home she didn’t hide or shy away, she crawled right on my finger and started cleaning me. 

Any time I had to pick her up she would come out of her shell even more and say hi knowing I came with food and love. 

She would spend HOURS surfing the waters surface, she loved playing in bubbles and her favorite food was broccoli.

I noticed she was slowing down and was more dull than usual, so I offered some carrot as she had never tried it before and then made an extra strength snello with extra calcium to try and get her extra nutrients. 

I’m happy to say she enjoyed her own chunk of carrot and snello but has passed. Today will be the 3rd day of her gone and I’m really upset about it. 

But I’m seeing her babys now ❤️ I’m glad she lives on and I’ll have more little leviathans to care for. 

Rip leviathan, I will miss you greatly. 

The last 2 photos are the first day I brought her home, when I reached in to take her out the first thing she did was start cleaning me.
