arielroxi Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 So my mystery snail just left me a clutch of eggs. Not sure how this happened since she's the only mystery snail in the aquarium. Unless the pond snails have been having their way with her. My question is how to I get rid of them? I don't have the capacity to raise them and I don't want them to cause a imbalance in my aquarium. Can I just scrap them off and toss them. (Sorry it sounds so cruel.) Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be done, yes. Female Mystery Snails can lay batches of infertile eggs. Moreover, they can save sperm from a male Mystery Snail for over a hundred days, and lay fertilized eggs from that prior spawning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev C Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 @arielroxi when i bought my first mystery snails. the pet store told me there was two ways to get rid of them 1: break the sac in the tank and let the fish eat them or 2: take the sac and freeze the sac for 2-3 days and then throw them away I just wanted to be sure they are not in my tank i put them in a ziplock bag and inside a butter bowl freeze for 2-3 days before trash them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
