Merited hatched in freshwater!

My nerite snail had eggs in my 10 gallon tank not brackish and they are starting to hatch!!!!!!! Very excited

Nerite not merite

The eggs will crack open but baby snails will not grow from them. Nerites have a larval stage and the larva cannot survive in freshwater. If you are seeing baby snails in your tank, they are most likely pond snails or ramshorn snails.

No the larvae are sitting at the top of my tank and they are all moving and doing fine

Although it's said to not be possible I've had some hatch and live in one of my FW tanks.

Awsome i hope mine do the same! There are probably 400 larvae on my glass already and not even half of my eggs have hatched!

+1, I taught it was a pond snail until it became way too big to be a pond snail.. But just 1, and it wasn't a planted tank., weirdest thing..
