Hey everyone, been a while since I posted on this thread. Basically I have 3 egg clutches that are either not fertilized or dried out because they didn't hatch and it's been a couple weeks. However, I recently had an egg clutch hatch and now I have a bunch I baby snails. Also, I have 3 other...

I appreciate your opinion, that's what i was thinking pretty much. hopefully they don't need them to be too large before i sell them. but i just hope the eggs are fertilized...still waiting!

Thank you! One more thing-do you think I could keep potentially hundreds of baby snails in a 10 gallon filtered heated tank until they are old enough to sell to a LFS? As long as I kept an eye on the water parameters and maybe added a source of calcium to the water I think it will be okay. Any...

Thank you for all of your information. The snail eggs seem to be changing color a bit to a light pinkish color. If they are fertile i plan on moving them over to my 10 gallon tank. i currently have 3 clutches of eggs and i plan on hatching them in my 10 gallon tank and then hopefully selling...

Oh okay-yeah I think I want to keep some of the eggs if they are fertilized-but I don't have room for hundreds of snails unfortunately haha. How long does it normally take for snail eggs to hatch and are there any signs I should look out for/protocol for getting rid of snail eggs?

Hi, A couple months ago I bought a snail labeled as a 'golden inca snail' but I think it may be an apple snail. Anyway, that is the only snail I have in the tank and I noticed several egg clutches on the top of my tank above the waterline. Was my snail able to have eggs without a partner? Do...

Is your tank cycled? If your nitrites are at .10 maybe you just got over a nitrite spike. You should check out some tank cycling threads if not. Hope I helped!

Also I have an apple snail. I know they don't prefer to live in any salt but I've read that they can tolerate salt at the amount I am dosing. Can anyone confirm this or has anyone done this before? I plan on doing water changes after the ich is gone to eliminate any traces of salt. Thank you.

Hi, recently 1 of my 2 balloon mollies died which stressed out the other one. He hid for about 2 days and now I noticed he has ich. I am trying to treat it with heat and salt so I'm dosing with 1tbsp of salt per 5 gallons and raising the temperature. Problem is my heater won't get anywhere...

Thank you for all of the answers! Can anyone suggest some plants that I should look into buying? Also I heard its best to buy from other hobbyists but if anyone has any website suggestions I'd really appreciate it as well :)

Hi, I'm new to planted aquariums and i was looking to set one up. I currently have a 30 gallon with artificial plants and i think it would be really cool to have a smaller tank with real plants. I already have the filter and heater but i was looking for suggestions on what kind of substrate i...
