Hello all,

I just discovered about 6 seperate clusters of what i am assuming is snail eggs. They are transparent, almost gell looking spots on the side of my aquarium. how long before they hatch? anything special i should do? and will they ALL survive? -theres a lot :S

Thanks once again

it'll be fine, if theyre smaller snails, expect more and more until theyre annoying

grr, i kill every snail egg batch till there are about 5 snails left, then, i let them breed, and then i start killing them again.

but, the eggs are very hardy, and, the baby snails will gennarly stay out of view for about 2 weeks, or untill they are a little larger, and genarly bigger than a fish could eat, then, they breed, and breed and breed till they float to the surface of the water, then my Danios will eat the snail, so, no idea what happens after that, LOL.

100% snail eggs! =D

They become a burden though...them six clusters of eggs will turn into 200 teenie little snails that just dot the glass. -.-; I have well over 1000 babies snails in my fry tank. But they do clean up fry leftovers in return. :P

Oh...they should hatch in a few days. If you look really closely at them...you can see them develop. :)

In my experience the snails that you want to breed don't, and the ones you don't really care about breed like mice!

I bought 4 mystery snails about 2-3 months ago, one died and the others havn't produced any egg clusters that I've seen,

I ended up with some wild snails on some wild plants I got from a lake and now, about a month and a half later, I have literally hundreds of them!

They do help clean the tank and my Endlers have been picking at them, I figure that for every one egg they eat about 5-10 hatch, LOL.

If you start to get overwhelmed by them you can either crush them against the glass for your fish to eat or, depending on your tank size, you could get a fish that specialises in eating snails.

i LOVE small snails, they are the best things for an aquarium clean-up crew if u ask me, keep em around, but eventually get some fish that'll eat them all
