If you don't want them to breed all you have to do is look out for egg sacks above the water line, scrape them off, freeze them, then put them in the garbage.

Bright pink eggs? or mushy plastic toy?
Hello all,
This is my first post. I joined because of a thread about mystery snails. I have 2. They have been frequently entwined. I didn't know what to expect. One day when I raised the hinged plastic cover for feeding, I found a mushy magenta blob hanging from it. It most resembled one of my 4 year old daughters globby plastic toys and she has a history of messing with the tank. So, I cleaned it off with a paper towel. I found that I had to wipe the whole of the inside of the cover as it was covered with red slime. Then I closely examined the mess in the paper towel, it had no smell and seemed to be composed of tiny round balls. Then it dawned on me, they could be snail eggs!
I wiped some of them back on to where they were with my finger. A few days later they were gone and I didn't see any in the tank. I'm afraid the snails may have consumed the remaining eggs because I contaminated them with my finger. I would appreciate any comments anyone would care to post.
