Brandon p Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Any else have a mystery snails every where. There are several clutches still in the tank. I have always had fish that would eat some of the babies so I was not over run. Will most of these babies survive. If they will I will move the adults. I normally would take the 30 or so that grew big enough to LFS for cash or credit. Size difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Their survival rate depends on food and calcium availability if no predators are present 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Wow! This feels like a "congrats" is in order as I have tried once before to breed mystery snails with no luck. I am curious to know which of your fish are picking off the smaller ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Had small clown loaches in there. They kept them under control. I still had snails but at a low level. I moved the loaches to a bigger tank. This is the first hatch since then. I will take the clutch of eggs and put a cheap plastic container drill holes in the top. Then I wet two paper towels doubled, then set a third paper towel into of the wet towels. Place the eggs on top and float in container in the aquarium. Make sure the eggsdont dry out. Check daily or every 2 days and add a little bit of water into the the plastic container. I use a kids medicine syringe. They lay several clutch’s at a time normally. I how that helps. If you are not getting eggs let me know Edited September 16, 2021 by Brandon p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
