Amazing! Thanks for the share!

@bettatester I agree with advice above from @AnimalNerd98, it's really contingent on providing an environment where they cannot be predated and have ample nutrition! You'll then be able to identify shell deformities accordingly as they grow larger. Once they look substantial you can re home them. My definition there is the size of my thumbnail 🙂 just big enough to stay out of anyone's mouth and be able to compete for food (or not be out competed)... With that said, I pamper my mystery snails! ❤️

Howzit all, I went out of town and they laid again, but cannot seem to find any survivors from that batch. I still have one fry from the original spawn. My tank is heavily planted with wood for food and weekly 20% water changes. I feed algae wafers primarily. pH is 7.6, gh is 30, kh is 80, no nitrites or nitrates and temp hovers around 78. I should try some Botanicals in the tank... This set up was never intended to be a species only but given the breeding activity might very well stay that way. Have either of you had any luck with cohabiting and keeping up the breeding? Also, My female remains gravid (she looks like she is going to pop, constantly)... Are there health risks here (?) 😬 thanks good people!

Amazing- thanks for the information, they seem to be doing pretty well, but they’re so small I can’t get decent shots just yet! Thanks!

Reading through this thread as my Otos just bred and I woke up to five little fry cruising around my heavily planted 20g! Thanks for this additional info! Quick question re food- what did you feed the little ones? Thanks!
