WVWade Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I found Two oblong white growth on the glass in my tank. They were above the water line so not wet. Not sure what it is. Can anyone identify and any idea if it is dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Do you have a mystery snail (or 2) in there? could be a thin snail clutch especially above the water, like that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herefishie Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I also believe this is from a mystery snail. The first time mine laid them I didn't know what to think but I soon realized after doing some research that's what laid them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I do with the "clutch"? Will they hatch snails? I am freaking out over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then you can remove the clutch and dispose. it’s my understanding that you can raise your water level so there is no available ‘dry’ area under the lid for them to lay eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 On 3/20/2024 at 4:21 PM, WVWade said: Will they hatch snails? I am freaking out over this yes, they will hatch tiny mystery snails. anywhere from 50 to 200 on a large clutch. unless you don't want them to hatch. if you don't want them. 1. fill the tank to capacity. they can't tolerate direct exposure to water. 2 take and scrape them off and discard the clutch. comes off in 1 big batch. they must have constant humidity to hatch. either of these will work for mystery snail control. they must have constant humidity and no direct water exposure to hatch. if you do want them. and I love me some mystery snails. keep the water exactly where it is, and they'll hatch just fine. feed them like adults. possibly keep them away from snail eaters as well. I actually had one clutch hatch one me, mostly by accident. somewhat not. In my 75g. I kept the water perfect for them. I think they hatched close to 120 snails. I gave 35 to my lfs. lost some. the 75 still has close to 30. and i have 45 in the rest of my tanks. so, I'm all good for snails.🤣 however next time I let a hatch go. I think I'm doingto do gold mystery snails. I just have the ivory one's this batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
