Mystery snails

[Ladycapof3]

So my MS had babies in my 10 gal tank. I have 2 neon tetras and 4 platies, 2 ghost shrimps and alge eater. I have read that MS can take over a tank. I also have 2 male betta, 1 in a 3gal and 1 in a 1gal tank. Will any of my other fish eat the baby MS?

So far I have only counted 5, not sure how many they can have.

Mystery snails lay eggs at the top of the tank or on the lid. Looks like a bumpy wad of pink gum. And the can have 50+. If you don't want young just remove the egg clutches and dispose of.

Here are some of the clutches in my tank ATM.

Great to know! I don't see the clutch though.... what happens after all the eggs are released from the clutch? Would it still be intact on the underside of the lid? Or does it fall off into the tank and eventually dissolve?

There is evidence in that pic of 3 other clutches that hatched.
