Snails!!

[SushiRoll]

I am going to breed apple snails and I was wondering how big they have to be to be able to breed? I have 1 ping pong ball sized black, 1 penny sized gold and 1 penny sized ivory. Also any tips would be great

Can anyone help me?

Hi, when my apple's bred they would've been just under a inch in size. As long as you have a male and female you'll be fine! And you will also need to keep your water line lower so they have room to lay their eggs, some will lay on the lid or can go walkabout if you don't have one.

How low should the water line be? Also I have a glass lid with practically no holes so no snails getting out and it is really humid above the water because bettas need to breath moist air.

My water line was lowered 2 inches from the top, just so they had enough room. Good you've got a lid at least they won't go walkabout Lol

I would drop the water line a little lower than what you have just to be sure they have enough room to move around and lay their eggs at the proper spot
