Okay so I just came to bed and glanced into my fishtank to see that my biggest apple snail is popping out eggs about 2 every 7 seconds! I am first trying to clarify..... These eggs are already fertilized correct? And second when she is done may I move the eggs to another tank without causing them to die, I'm talking maybe out of water for 15 seconds max? And third and finally will my other apple snails eat the eggs? I'm not worried about the fish seeing how they are a good 1/2 inch from the water line. This is my first egg spawn in this tank so I guess there is a feel of excitement and accomplishment so thank you:)
 
If you move them quickly they will be okay. The snails lay them out of the water because they will not hatch if they are submerged. They need to stay warm and moist but not wet. Hope that helps and congrats!
